This review is from: Canada's Deadly Secret: Saskatchewan Uranium and the Global Nuclear System (Paperback)
The politics of the NDP Government in Saskatchewan to continue to totally ignore the science is brought out in spades. This is a very good lesson for other regions facing new uranium mines. The book is a very easy read. Perfect for the "lay" person/activist who just wants to learn more about the uranium industry. I highly recommend it.
