12 Jan 16 The Final Push: The Road to 95,000 Signatures – Help Us Stop the Great Lakes Nuclear Dump. In 7 days, we deliver the petition! This is our final push for signatures

Petition http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/stopthegreatlakesnucleardump.html

Ontario Power Generation plans to bury and abandon radioactive nuclear waste approximately 400 metres below the bottom level of Lake Huron. Scientists cannot guarantee that this Nuclear Waste Dump will not leak.

The Great Lakes provide fresh drinking water for 40 million people in two countries.Why would we bury radioactive nuclear waste beside this precious resource?

Ontario Power Generation did not consider ANY other sites for this nuclear waste dump except right beside the Great Lakes. Is this responsible?

OPG claims it has done its homework, yet the Joint Review Panel’s own consultant, Dr. Duinker, concluded that OPG’s analysis was “not credible, not defensible, not clear, not reliable, inappropriate.”

The radioactive nuclear waste must stay isolated in this dump for 100,000 years. The Great Lakes were created by an ice age about 12,000 years ago.

There are 3 deep geological repositories on the entire planet and all have leaked – a 100% failure rate. OPG claims their DGR will be different, but also notes they “can’t guarantee anything”.

An underground nuclear waste dump in limestone is unproven and unprecedented.

I want to compliment you on this website. It is truly informative and your articles tell it like it is!

You really should link this Action page on http://www.enenews.com to get the word out even more.

Keep up the amazing work!

- this is a belated thank you for your comment, Amy
  ene news is doing an amazing job. I am relying on it more and more, as the mainstream news really avoids the “difficult” stuff

some interesting comments and perspectives..
first i would like to say thatmore than 60 percent of the worlds energy is used by the corporations to support a very energy consumptive society. With mass unemployment because of the need for energy hungry machinery that has replaced skilled workers and there products with short lasting plastic products. Windows no longer last hundreds of years as plastic becomes brittle after a few decades as an example.

The point i am getting at is we could reduce the need for this large scale electricity by cutting the use by the corporations and using alternative technologies like the aluminium fuel cell and 12 volt systems instead of the higher voltage we use now.

Although the idea of a small amount of nuclear fuel going far, there is still the waste to consider. After some of my own investigations i found that melting these nuclear waste products causes NO2 pollution to name but one pollutant caused by these processes. The UK is a case in point with the highest deaths from NO2 in Europe, which i maintain is from Sellafield and La Hague fuel reprocessing and decommissioning of nuclear facilities in recent years. As you fairly pointed out about transparency in the industry is not improviong and i think it is because of the real huge costs of this technology. Even the Norwegian investors left TEPCO with huge losses and the Dutch investors enquired as to the health issues in Fukushima and were ignored.

I was going to volunteer for work at Daichi but have since found out the scale of the coverup and that info is on this blog.

As to thorium, its not looking to good. There is a reactor in norway and it is not proving efficient so far.

i will stop here and let our statements be seen and assesed by our viewers.
there might be follow on comments but the nuclear-news crowd is usually silent on issues. So i am not holding my breath 🙂
Many thanks for your input.
peace

Pub Med: sulfur can protect and repair the damage of radiation exposure

Godzilla is a movie, radiation is a fact and many have forgotten about the elements which we choose to make radio active so we can make weapons. Now our electrical supply source becomes out enemy world wide because some one forgot what Pub Med has published seven times: Sulfur can protect and repair the damage of radiation exposure.
What can it not repair?
There is 100 tons of yellow dirt sitting on the ground in Hawaii ready for some areoplane to dump the elemental sufur onto the puny reactors GE knew would fail, they never liked the Japanese.
In the reactors, in ocean, in the people of Japan and world wide sulfur can make the biology no longer fatal.
GE could afford a plane or two to pull this off, and keep the Japanese air force out of the air in this remake of Tora Tora, with much happier results.
We have been watching organic sulfur protect and repair our study members who for fear did it all, the sulfur kept them alive, all of them.

Got sulfur?
