Nuclear politics - June 22nd Globe and Mail item about CANDU reactors

Post by Admin Verified »

“Federal nuclear strategy aims to have 10 new large-scale reactors built in Canada, expand Candu’s international footprint”

www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-federal-nuclear-strategy-large-scale-reactors-canada

Earlier today, Monday, this article had some interesting comments at the bottom... to whit, there wasn't anything about the fantastic new solution that's been proposed about how to deal with the long half-lives of the heaps of waste. Um, perhaps that is because new ideas, for future generations, are non-existent?

I will look again later and if I don't post again, please remind me about it.

There were some thoughtful letters to the editor in the Globe and Mail about this one. One person cited the business of trucking out the waste to points unknown in the north. Like up Highway 11?

See the section on "Nuclear plans", about half-way down in this archive link:
