Public Input Wanted On Transportation Of Nuclear Waste
 Public Input Wanted On Transportation Of Nuclear Waste, Dryden, ON, Canada / CKDR, Sarah McCarthy
Oct 12, 2020 A site in Ignace is up for consideration to become a nuclear repository and the Nuclear Waste Management Organization is looking for feedback on their Transportation Framework plan.
The Rotary Club of Dryden had a chance to provide their input, as the organization was a guest at one of their virtual meetings. Relationship Manager, Norman Sandberg explains road and rail are the two modes of transportation being considered to carry the fuel. “Water is a transportation mode that is used, but Canadians earlier in the process made it very clear that transportation of used nuclear fuel across the great lakes is not socially acceptable.” If road was picked, there would be two trucks per day or by via rail there would be two trains per week. The fuel would be transported across half the country, from Manitoba or New Brunswick and it could be a combination of both modes of transportation. Sandberg adds would be a 45 to 50 year transportation period. “We don’t anticipate being in a position to be able to transportation of used fuel until at least the mid 2040’s, because we have to have a repository not only approved and licensed, but constructed and ready for operation.” The potential repository sites under assessment right now include one in Ignace and another in Southern Ontario……… https://www.ckdr.net/2020/10/12/rotary-club-of-dryden-receive-presentation-on-nuclear-waste/ |

Tsuboi released comments expressing his joy after he
learned that the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear
Weapons would enter in force.
“I am filled with excitement, thinking, ‘At long last.
This is great.’ It is a major step toward my long-held,
earnest desire for nuclear weapons to be banned
and eliminated,” he said. At the same time, he
noted that states with nuclear weapons, as well
as Japan, had not ratified the treaty and said, “The road hereafter may be rough.”
Still, each time I have met Tsuboi, he has
repeatedly stated, “I won’t give up until there ar
e zero nuclear weapons. Never give up!”
