3600 Canadians have signed the petition, will you?!?!

[chris keefer @Dr_Keefer]

The days of climate inaction due to #Nuclear fear are over. Join @canadiansenergy to support CANDU & SMRs to fight climate change, keep our air clean, produce medical isotopes & create a green recovery! 3600 Canadians have signed the petition, will you? https://t.co/g12ehyf607

HOW TO SOLVE NUCLEAR WASTE:

1. Collect the spent fuel
2. Put it in an iron container
3. Put that in a copper container
4. Put that in a hole surrounded by clay...
5. ...Deep in stable granite.

Done.

Note: we can store it above ground but this is one failsafe way to bury it.

[Sheila Whytock @WhytockSheila]

@NotEnergyBlind @cadlam @MikeMcL00531595 There is absolutely, 100%, without a doubt, a plan for used fuel storage. Selecting a site is literally part of the plan; the part that’s currently being done actually. Repeatedly claiming there’s no plan is extremely dishonest.

@AlbertaNuclear @ONcleanair I can’t see the original tweet from OCAA because they blocked me for challenging their frequent lies. That tells you enough about how honest and informed they are on the topic of nuclear….

[Sheila Whytock @WhytockSheila]

@cadlam No!!!!!! I want to go too!!!!!

[Sheila Whytock @WhytockSheila]

@MadiHilly You forgot to include the Nuke-Bro moustache LOL

[chris keefer @Dr_Keefer]

But few civilizations have lasted longer than 500 years. What do we do about the long lived radioisotopes?

We can move waste from civilizational to geological time scales by burying it in appropriate geology. Should we?

Stay tuned for my next thread on geologic disposal...

[Sheila Whytock @WhytockSheila]

@Chapter4Travels @poohbear_1800 @Dr_Keefer Yup - that happens in Canada too.

[Sheila Whytock @WhytockSheila]

@maximepolleri Sounds like we need to revisit the dangers of war…..it’s not the nuclear plants fault that some crazy person is shelling it…

[Sheila Whytock @WhytockSheila]

@energybants @Beazy_Rampezy @MadiHilly I don’t think these decisions are early at all! They have been studying geological disposal for decades to ensure it’s the best thing to do.

[Sheila Whytock @WhytockSheila]

@AngieSath @MadiHilly Exactly! What we do is perfectly safe, for now! As long as we have a reliable regulator and a stable government. And of course no major climate upsets in the next….1,000,000 years or so..

[Sheila Whytock @WhytockSheila]

@MadiHilly As someone in the industry who strongly believes in the safety and necessity of geological disposal, I take offence to this statement.

[Sheila Whytock @WhytockSheila]

@maximepolleri @MunSouthBruce @NWMOCanada Yes please!!

[Sheila Whytock @WhytockSheila]

@SmartandSassy11 @AlbertaNuclear I understand there was no consultation when the plant was built. That doesn’t change the fact that the waste is here now and needs to be dealt with in the safest way possible.

[Sheila Whytock @WhytockSheila]

@SmartandSassy11 @AlbertaNuclear What commitment is the community asking for? Transitioning what? I’m sorry but I’m not sure what you mean

[Sheila Whytock @WhytockSheila]

@SmartandSassy11 No I was referring to 2014. I didn’t know about an incident this year either. I’ll have to look it up!

[Sheila Whytock @WhytockSheila]

@KIVUNature @SmartandSassy11 The “no” for the opg project was final. The project was cancelled. This is a different project, for different waste, in a different location. Solid ceramic pellets can’t leak.

[Sheila Whytock @WhytockSheila]

@SmartandSassy11 @AlbertaNuclear Having issues trusting the industry is understandable, just like it’s understandable to not trust the government. We all want safety. We just need to be sure we know all the options and effects of those options and choose what is safest. I believe that is a DGR.

[Sheila Whytock @WhytockSheila]

@spencerricearts @AlbertaNuclear @SmartandSassy11 The human factor of managing the waste is exactly what a DGR eliminates. That’s the entire point of planning and implementing geological storage; so safety is NOT reliant on humans forever.

[Sheila Whytock @WhytockSheila]

@SmartandSassy11 @coo77505195 @zhaabowekwe How am I trying to scare you? By stating the obvious? The current storage situation cannot be guaranteed safe for eternity and relies 100% on humans being responsible. We all know how that generally works out.
