Nuclear waste storage in Canada
Aside
from using a language that seems biased against nuclear power and aside
from making it like a sensational story, this series of articles seem
to be an in-depth reporting on the issue: http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/Canada+nuclear+cleanup+will+cost+billions+dollars+take+decades+complete/5874209/story.html ... see also: http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/atomic-wasteland/index.html
.... let us not forget that other energy sources also have hazardous
implications for thousands of years and beyond (CO2 greenhouse effect,
global warming which could be irreversible)... to stop using the
nuclear technology that is clean compared to other sources of energy as
well as its other benefits such as medical isotopes and neutron
scattering because of the waste seems to be shortsighted... Nuclear
waste has been and continues to be stored safely... quoting McCauley,
the director of the uranium and radioactive waste division at Natural
Resources Canada in the article: "My view is that we’ve got a pretty
good story ... to tell in terms of radioactive waste management. I’m not
saying that it’s not a big challenge for us, but I do think we’ve got
the framework in place that we can be successful."
