Lake Huron site best suited for nuclear-waste bunker: OPG report

[Dashinka 25,856]

Interesting that they find this irrelevant.  

 

A new report from Ontario Power Generation overwhelmingly affirms the utility's long-held position that the best place for a nuclear-waste bunker is on the Lake Huron shoreline.

One of the biggest problems with burying the hazardous waste somewhere else would come from having to truck it up to 2,000 kilometres, increasing the risk of radiological accidents and pollution, the 143-page analysis concludes.

The only minor advantage — amid a sea of disadvantages — to locating a bunker elsewhere might be less disturbance of indigenous heritage sites, such as burial grounds, the report finds.

Even so, the overall impact on Aboriginal Peoples is likely to be lower if the deep geologic repository is built, as proposed, at the Bruce nuclear plant near Kincardine, Ont., the report states.

 

"OPG has not changed its position: proximity of the nuclear waste burial site to a Great Lake is not relevant,"

What can go wrong with that idea, right?

you want an eyeopener look into "Operation Plowshare" which was creation of mines, aquifers, harbors with Nukes. and continued until 1974.  One undergournd natural gas experiment was less than two miles from the headwaters of the Colorado river.   

no one stopped to ask " after we expose the natural gas how do we make it not radioactive?

Humanity is it's own downfall.

I think it's a great idea. Tree huggers and environmentalists be damned!! Nuclear waste being hazardous is a myth, just like global warming. How many times has the earth been destoyed by nuclear means? Never!!

Seriously this is something I agree with you on.... Can pigs fly yet?

 

 

How many countless millions would this affect if something were to happen? They do know the water flows to the other Great Lakes and then ultimately out in to the ocean right?

I say just dump it along our southern border…..or California.

Just like what Mexico did with sewage in the Tijuana River. All the while knowing that it is dumped into the ocean and affects San Diego.

Mexico probably doesn't have the evil EPA to deal with.
