All Day Symposium held on 'The Legacy of Nuclear Waste'

摘要

With the upset victory of Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party in Canada on Oct. 18, a bubble of optimism is rising among opponents of the nuclear waste dump proposed for Kincardine, Ontario, a half-mile from the shores of Lake Huron. The Federal Minister of the Environment is slated to give the Deep Geological Repository for Low and Intermediate Nuclear Waste a thumbs up or thumbs down early in December. Will a new prime minister tip the scales in favor of opponents of the dump? According to Beverly Fernandez at Stop the Great Lakes Nuclear Dump, 179 governmental units in the bi-national Midwest have passed resolutions opposing the dump.
