Canada's nuclear industry is generating enormous amounts of waste that will remain radioactive for centuries to come. As Eric Sorensen reports, plans are underway to store that used fuel in a repository deep underground, but the plan is not without controversy.
Fred Kuntz of OPG said, “The rock at 680 metres deep is impermeable. It’s dry. It’s strong. The geology at that depth below the site has been isolated from any groundwater or the lake for hundreds of millions of years.”
The deep geological repository was approved by an environmental review panel in 2015, but both the Harper and Trudeau governments have put off giving the final go ahead. It now appears to hinge on the approval by indigenous people in the region.
