☢ Ontarians fear risks of burying radioactive waste in Bruce County <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=69199207d1&e=45743fde61>  Ontario Clean Air Alliance's Angela Bischoff said Kincardine's DGR stands the risk of becoming a leaking repository like the ones in Germany, or Yucca Mountain in the U.S. Her group recommended hardened on-site surface storage at the Bruce site as an alternative, as its "retrievable" and would involve "rolling stewardship" to watch over the waste over the decades and centuries it remains radioactive. She also recommended a "complete nuclear phase-out" of Ontario's reactors as they reach their end of life.

It joined the other 47 nuclear reactors that had been idled for most of the period since the devastating Fukushima catastrophe in March 2011. Not only were there were no electricity blackouts, but Japan came in second worldwide for installing solar PV in 2013 (only China installed more). In addition, the people's dedication to energy efficiency – the cheapest and quickest way to reduce costs and carbon emissions – has led to a reduction in electricity demand equal to 13 nuclear reactors.
