Killers of Port Hope! Radium was extracted from the uranium ore in the middle of Port Hope Ontario starting in 1932. Several thousand tons of uranium ore would have to be processed in the refinery to retrieve one gram of radium. The large volume of radioactive waste uranium ore was dumped in the harbour, in ravines and was given to anyone who wanted it as fill material. This practice continued until 1966. porthopehistory/nucleargenocide/nucleargenocide1.htm
