Star:
Such a reactor was first proposed by physicist Enrico Fermi and built in the U.S. in the 1950s by expatriate Canadian Walter Zinn from Kitchener.
That reactor, the EBR-1, was the first to generate electricity by nuclear energy. Its successor, the EBR-2, served to perfect recycling of used fuel by electrorefining, a process developed by Charles Till, another expatriate Canadian, from Saskatchewan. It is time we repatriated those capabilities.

At current nuclear power levels Canada’s 64,000 tons “nuclear fuel waste” can provide Ontario with noncarbon energy for over 5,000 years.
