Nuclear Waste Watch

Nuclear Waste Watch / Action déchets nucléaires was founded in 2003 to provide public-interest response to the nuclear waste issues and proposals in Canada.

Nuclear  projects are high cost and high risk. The federal government is  threatening changes to the assessment process for nuclear projects. Fast-tracking nuclear projects is outright dangerous. Message PM Carney: don't do it. https://t.co/JQG0tLyWAF

On Friday, May 8th the federal government unleashed a Discussion Paper outlining the next rush to dismantle what remains of environmental assessment (now “impact” assessment following the last set of rollbacks). Comment by June 7th. https://t.co/JQG0tLyWAF

Academic and long-time nuclear waste expert Dr. William Leiss nails it: "Canada’s false ‘solution’ for used nuclear fuel waste - Potentially trucking waste to a deep geological repository could be a recipe for disaster."

[Nuclear Waste Watch @NukeWasteWatch]

Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are being presented as the next generation of nuclear technology, championed as cheaper, safer, and faster to deploy. But evidence casts doubt on these claims. #smrs https://t.co/7VhhMgKY5G

Lapses in safety at already operating nuclear laboratory facilities are warning signs for how the "safety culture" of the nuclear industry may fail workers and area residents at facilities proposed for Canada. https://t.co/YBo7DtWUeq

How about it OPG and CNSC? Would you participate in a public forum about dry storage containers for nuclear fuel waste? #nuclearwaste #OPG #CNSC #radioactive #Darlington #Pickering

[Northwatch @Northwatch]

It would be interesting to hear OPG and Orano comparatively discuss their dry storage container designs and for the CNSC to weigh in about safety criteria. Would they do it? Would OPG, Orano and CNSC accept an invitation to discuss in a public forum? #nuclearwaste #opg #cnsc
