An independent federal panel has recommended approval following an extensive review.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the right decision for the safe, long-term storage of low- and intermediate-level waste,\u201d said CNA President and CEO Dr. John Barrett.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Joint Review Panel should be commended for its thoroughness and the numerous open public hearings that it held on the issue, allowing input from the community and all stakeholders,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Barrett said the CNA looks forward to project approval from the federal environment minister and the independent nuclear regulator, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOntario Power Generation (OPG) has safely managed low- and intermediate-level waste materials for years,\u201d he said. \u201cWe can all be confident that it will continue to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>OPG\u2019s proposed repository, supported by the surrounding community, would store waste, such as cleaning supplies and uniforms, as well as filters and other pieces used in its nuclear reactors.<\/p>\n<p>The Kincardine repository would not store used nuclear fuel. A separate process, led by the Nuclear Waste Management Organization, is looking for a home for a used-fuel repository.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe nuclear industry, alone in the energy sector, takes full responsibility for managing its waste,\u201d Dr. Barrett said. \u201cIt does so safely and securely. This speaks to the proactive and responsible environmental management to which all industry members are committed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The proposed DGR\u2019s safety has been confirmed by numerous studies and analyses by engineers, geologists, geoscientists and hydrologists.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple natural barriers of solid, stable rock would safely protect Lake Huron from the repository, ensuring that no radiation could reach the lake. \u00a0Scientists and recognized experts from around the world have validated OPG\u2019s findings.<\/p>\n<p>Ontario\u2019s low- and intermediate-level waste comes from nuclear reactors that safely produce affordable and reliable electricity, while emitting zero greenhouse gases. The Independent Electrical System Operator (IESO), which operates the provincial electrical grid, purchased 94.9 terawatt hours of nuclear-generated electricity last year \u2013 62 percent of the grid\u2019s supply.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">-30-<\/p>\n<p>For more information:<br \/>\nMalcolm Bernard<br \/>\nDirector of Communications<br \/>\n613-237-4262 #110<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OTTAWA (May 8, 2015) \u2013\u00a0The\u00a0Canadian Nuclear Association\u00a0(CNA) today called on the federal government to approve the Deep Geologic Repository proposed for Kincardine, Ontario.
