@tbnewswatch What is going to affected for hundreds of thousands of years? I think what she means is that nothing will be affected for hundreds of thousands of years and thereafter there may be an affect but no one will notice it.

[Neil Alexander @CESSpitEd]

@tbnewswatch Who exactly are the millions of Ontarians that will be affected and how will they be affected. Is she seriously trying suggest we should be in a panic about three trucks a day?

@annarobertsmp Can we please keep politics off these pages.

@TheHillTimes I am in the process of preparing a response from the Canadian Nuclear Society pointing out once again all the things that O'Donnell gets wrong. Watch for it we hope it will be published shortly.

@JeremyRayner Couldn't enjoy it knowing that there was still snow on the hills and I could be skiing!

@NukeWasteWatch Interestingly they argue that it isn't the risk of separation they were talking about and yet still refer to separation in the title. As well as not getting their facts straight they can't even maintain a consistent argument, probably because they make this up as they go along.

@NukeWasteWatch When it comes to weapons plutonium is certainly not plutonium. Some you can make bombs out of, some you can't. One would have thought the authors would have checked their facts before publishing.

@TheHillTimes This was a response to a letter I co-authored. The author seems to think that the fact that no one has died standing next to a magnet somehow makes her point. But actually no one has died standing next to used fuel either...so she actually made ours.

@TheHillTimes If people want to understand used fuel disposal they could try this new, interesting, and rather fun independent video I wrote about in my blog https://t.co/yddiYC9yNX

@TheHillTimes What it does more than anything else is show the degree of misunderstanding that people are basing their views on. For example there will be no dangerous venting and its ridiculous to claim that there would be.

[Neil Alexander @CESSpitEd]

@TheHillTimes Although this claims to be a response to a letter that I co-authored it does not address any of the points made in that letter but rather raises some new issues.

@ONcleanair @CNSC_CCSN @JonathanWNV OCAA are lying by omission. Hardened facilities were an experiment in Germany. Only a few plants tried it and the regulator deemed them to be of no particular value. This is just an anti-nuclear group trying to increase the cost of the electricity you use.

@ONcleanair @JonathanWNV @CNSC_CCSN OCAA are lying by omission. Hardened facilities were an experiment, used on only a few German plants, and the regulator determined that they provide no real additional protection.

[Neil Alexander @CESSpitEd]

@whatisnuclear How many people have stood in the fire chamber of a coal or gas fired plant? Its a stupid comment. Why did you make it?

This is essential information for anyone interested in emissions and the real situation.

As well as, a problem with climate change, that may or may not be occurring and which we may or may not be causing (I think it is and we are but the stress is on the word think), we are in the fastest mass extinction that the wor…https://t.co/lGrNqywlQn https://t.co/YM5hiw7yIq

Excellent piece on how we need to be careful about the phrase "evidence based decision making" and how perhaps we should refer to "science advice to inform decisions by politicians" because evidence must always be seen in context. https://t.co/ZAHhTdbIam

Great to see Canada continuing to make progress on Small Modular Reactors and especially to see the experienced Canadian suppliers being picked to do essential nuclear design work.

@MiketheScribe Can't stop myself quoting Stephen Fry on the Infinite Monkey Cage...."Science has given people 30 more years to live...….and they spend it complaining about the things that science does for them". Couldn't be truer.
