Representatives from CRED-NB and collaborators across Canada filed a complaint to the federal Competition Bureau under Section 9 of the Competition Act, asking the Bureau to stop the Canadian Nuclear Association (CNA) and its members from falsely promoting nuclear energy as “clean” and “non-emitting”.
The complaint demonstrates that claims by the Canadian Nuclear Association and its members are false and misleading because of nuclear energy’s constant emission of large quantities of Group 1 carcinogenic liquids and gases, and its production of toxic radioactive byproducts and wastes which long outlive fuel production and energy generation, burdening current and future generations with safety and health risks.
