Nuclear Power? CANDU!

Our previous meetup Going Nuclear was interesting, but needed a local expert to help navigate the territory. Meetup regular Alex has amazingly arranged for Matthew Mairinger from NAYGN: North American Young Generation in Nuclear and Ontario Power Generation to come chat with us.

## Suggested Readings

None of this is required, but can help provide some useful context for discussion:

• A Short History of Candu (34 page pdf; from 1993, revised 2002)
• Doing Candu new (8-10 minute read; 2024)
• Yes CANDU! 5 great reasons to love the CANDU reactor

## Suggested Videos

Also, not required, but useful context:

• Why I changed my mind about nuclear power (20 minutes); Michael Shellenberger
• The Ultimate Candu Reactor Guide (22 minutes)

## Simple Visual Overviews

• Which Energy Source is the Safest?
• Candu Reactor Schematic

## Location

Enter the Mars Atrium via University Avenue entrance. We'll meet at the food court in the basement. I'll be wearing a bright neon yellow jacket.

## Detailed Directions to the Food Court

Enter from University Avenue and walk east until you see escalators. Take the escalators down. The food court is to the east of the escalators. If you are lost/confused, ask a security guard to direct you to the food court.
