@ONcleanair @JonathanWNV @CNSC_CCSN This type of ideologically driven propaganda does us all a disservice. Our nuclear regulator, the CNSC, is very rigorous and transparent in their approach to nuclear safety. Canada’s Nuclear Workforce applauds the excellent work the CNSC does for all Canadians.

@ONcleanair It sounds like you are now supportive of the NWMO's mission to complete the site selection process for a Deep Geological Repository to permanently manage Canada's used nuclear fuel. That's progress.
Meanwhile it all continues to be safely managed on site.
