NUCLEAR WASTE SITE HEARINGS ARE NOT FINISHED



Two new facts have arisen which are responsible for the low to medium level radioactive storage plans near Lake Huron to be reopened. Firstly an underground storage site in new mexico which had been cited as an example for the Kincardine operation leaked radioactive material to the surface last winter. Secondly a former Ontario Power Generation scientist has written a harsh critique of the company's alleged inventory of items to be stored underground as allegedly low to medium radioactive waste.

It appears that both sides of the debate are using the same argument that this generation owes the next the security of having found and utilized a safe repository for nuclear wastes. That is pretty much where the concensus ends however. OPG believes that limestone formations hundreds of metres below ground in Kincardine are safe and secure. Opposition is based upon geological concerns as well as the proximity of Lake Huron. The article in Tuesday's Waterloo Region Record is titled "Nuclear waste site hearings re-open".
