“It is hard to imagine that any government would be so foolish as to put a permanent nuclear dump right next to the world's largest inland water ecosystem.”  <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=c558afeed3&e=45743fde61> Ole Hendrickson in response to the federal panel that just approved a nuclear dump on Lake Huron

“The nuclear industry would have you believe that humankind is smart enough to develop techniques to store nuclear waste for a quarter of a million years, but at the same time human kind is so dumb we can’t figure out a way to store solar electricity overnight.”  <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=cf7ec758c9&e=45743fde61> Arnie Gunderson

There are 154 communities opposed to the project, including Toronto and Chicago, representing over 21 million people. It should be stored above ground, easily monitored and retrievable, far from a Great Lake. Here’s another  <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=5b6dce2038&e=45743fde61> article. “It is a mistake to bury and abandon radioactive nuclear waste “beside the largest supply of drinking water on the planet.” Watch the  <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=a487e20ae9&e=45743fde61> exchange in the legislature between NDP Peter Tabuns and Liberal Glen Murray.

And OPG, the proponents of the proposed project to bury low- and intermediate-level waste at the site, continue to insist that SON approval is necessary for the project to proceed. Here’s <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=07e497dc04&e=45743fde61>  another piece.

☢ Is a Kincardine deep geological repository the solution for all of Canada’s nuclear waste? <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=57323ea725&e=45743fde61>  “A leak of radioactive waste would almost certainly have a cataclysmic effect on the delicate ecological balance of the world’s largest group of freshwater bodies.” So says the City of Chicago.

☢ High-level nuclear waste is an even bigger challenge <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=0751d1bef1&e=45743fde61>  A glance at how Canada and the U.S. are trying to deal with high-level nuclear waste.
