This broadcast in French (with two interviews in English) describes the dangers of the liquid nuclear waste shipments from Chalk River, with some special emphasis on the fruit-growing and wine-producing Niagara peninsula.  It is the lead story, but you have to tolerate a few commercials. (Cette émission en français (avec 2 entrevues en anglais) décrit les dangers associés avec les transports des déchets nucléaires sous forme liquide en provenance de Chalk River, avec une emphase particulière sur le région du péninsule de Niagara où on produit beaucoup des fruits et des vins. C’est l’histoire principal, mais il faut tolérer quelques publicités.)
