In Exporting Danger, Ron Finch delivers a sobering account of Canada's involvement in the global nuclear trade?an involvement far more consequential than many Canadians realize. From its early postwar development of the CANDU reactor to its controversial export deals with countries like India, Pakistan, Argentina, and South Korea, Canada's nuclear program is revealed as a deeply politicized enterprise, fraught with ethical blind spots and geopolitical gambles. Through meticulous research and sharp critique, Exporting Danger exposes how Canadian taxpayers were misled about the real costs and risks of nuclear exports, and how civil nuclear programs have quietly contributed to the global spread of weapons-grade plutonium. At once a political history and a cautionary tale, Exporting Danger is a powerful indictment of Canada's nuclear ambitions.
