Project launch on Parliament Hill

March 4th, 2009

The Tritium Awareness Project (TAP) is being launched  today with a Press Conference on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario. The media advisory and press release for this event are available for download in our press release section.

The mission of The Tritium Awarenss Project is to raise public awareness about radioactive tritium, sometimes referred to as “Canada’s national radionuclide” because Canada is the world’s leading tritium producer.

We are excited about getting this project off the ground. For too many years, the risks of tritium have been seriously underestimated and as a result, Canadians have been subjected to excessive amounts of tritium in their air and drinking water. We aim to change that with the TAP project.

TAP is a voluntary and cooperative undertaking involving Concerned Citizens of Renfrew County, the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility,  le Mouvement vert Mauricies, and other groups.

We are fortunate to have an excellent advisory board for the project. Please visit the “About TAP” to meet the advisory board members.
