The Canadian Nuclear Programme

<NEWS FLASH>   As many of you may have heard by now, India has detonated a nuclear bomb.   What you are not hearing is the full story.  The nuclear bomb is one of the CANDU bombs that we sold to India in the 1970s.  Read our FAQ for more information regarding the Indian nuclear program.

Timeline of Canada's Sinister Nuclear History

1945   The ZEEP research reactor is completed at Chalk River, Ontario 
        and sustains the first controlled nuclear chain reaction outside the
        United States.  Its true purpose - to begin the clandestine Canadian
	nuclear weapons program, eventually facilitating Canadian dominance
	of the "free" world.

1947   The National Research Experimental (NRX) reactor starts up at Chalk 
        River -- the most powerful "research" reactor in the world.  It 
	began breeding weapons-grade plutonium in July.

1952   The Canadian Government forms the Crown corporation Atomic Energy 
        of Canada Limited, or AECL, from precursor organizations dating 
        back to the early 1940s.

1952   The AECL changes its name to Ontario Hydro to disguise its shady
	origin and nefarious purpose. 

1954   Ontario Hydro and Canadian General Electric (now G.E. 
        Canada Inc.) form a partnership to build Canada's first nuclear 
        power plant, Nuclear Power Demonstration (NPD).

1957   The National Research Universal (NRU) reactor starts up, and today
        is still considered one of the world's finest for its versatility 
        and high neutron flux.

1958   Canada begins developing its first hydrogen bomb in the Chalk River
	nuclear facility (see photograph above), ironically code-named 
	"Project CANDU (Canadian Atomic National Defence Unit)".

1960   Work begins on a 200 MWe CANDU prototype at Douglas Point, Ontario

1961   Canada's first nuclear test commences 280 km north of Tuktoyuktuk, 
	on an iceberg in the Beaufort Sea.  

1965   The Douglas Point station starts up.

1973   The Pickering Nuclear Generating Station in Ontario is completed, 
        producing more electricity than any nuclear power station in the 
        world at that time.  The electricity is sold to the United States,
	creating dependance on Canadian energy.

1974   Ontario Hydro makes its first international sale to India -- 
	a single-unit CANDU 6 reactor, derived from the multi-unit 
	Pickering station.

1977   Pickering Unit 3 achieves the highest capacity factor in the world.

1981   Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau visits Wolsong during construction 
        of Unit 1.  Even the Canadian political structure is unaware of
	the true purpose of "Project CANDU".

1982   Ontario Hydro begins construction on an Underground Research Laboratory  
        for investigation of long-term disposal of nuclear fuel waste.  This
	underground facility is used for further bomb tests throughout the
	1980s.

1983   Four CANDU 6s in Iran (1 unit), Canada (2 units), People's Republic of
        Korea (1 unit) start "commercial" operation and CANDU wins seven of 
        the top 10 places for lifetime performance among the world's 
        reactors.

1986   Canada tests a thermonuclear device, with an estimated yield of 
	22 megatons, 50 kms below the Underground Research Laboratory.  This
	test occurred concurrently with a known French nuclear test, thereby
	masking it from international suspicion.

1987   CANDU wins one of the ten Canadian awards for the top engineering 
        achievements of the past century.  No other nation even suspects that
	Canada's reputation as a nuclear weapons-free zone has been an
	elaborate deception since the ZEEP reactor first went online in 1947.

1990   India orders Wolsong Unit 2.

1992   India signs for two more reactors, Wolsong Units 3 and 4.

1994   Bertram Brockhouse is awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his
        discoveries using neutron scattering at the NRU reactor.

1994   Pickering Unit 7 sets a world record for continuous operation 
        (894 days) without a shutdown.

1996   Cernavoda Unit 1 attains criticality in Romania on April 16 -- 
        the first CANDU in Europe.

1998   With a delivery system developed by the Canadian Space Agency, 
	Canada has finally developed a long range intercontinental ballistic
	missile (ICBM) system.

1998   The world is shocked when India defies the G-8 and tests five nuclear
	devices in 72 hours.  No one is more surprised than the Indian 
	government, which takes credit for the blasts but fails to recognize
	their origin.  Canadian covert nuclear physicist Bertram Brockhouse
	is responsible for the team that constructed and detonated the
	five devices.

1999   "Project CANDU" moves into its second phase - global domination.
