OTTAWA — Nearly two months after a radioactive spill at the Chalk River Nuclear Labs, the plant’s owners and the federal office that regulates nuclear safety are keeping a tight lid on information about what caused the spill and how bad it was.

Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. has not responded to phone calls Tuesday about the Dec. 5 leak.

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, (CNSC) the nuclear regulator, responded to inquiries by sending out one brief printed report, but officials have not yet returned calls to explain it or discuss any environmental risk.
