Here are 9 good reasons why Premier Kathleen Wynne should send any agreement to the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) for a full public review.

Dr. Gordon Edwards said that over a long period of time the metal containers in which the waste is stored will disintegrate. What also concerns him is the possibility of the nuclear waste, once moved to a central location, being reprocessed to extract plutonium for sale or for further generation of electricity.
