A critical milestone is on the horizon for Canada's 175-year-long plan to bury its nuclear waste underground, with two pairs of Ontario communities set to decide if they would be willing hosts.

Living nearby and paying attention to this, they've always said it was "mostly low level waste, like rubber gloves and lab coats. What are you so worried about?" and here they say

Within the used nuclear fuel containers will be the fuel bundles, or rods, made of corrosion-resistant Zircaloy.

Love it when they brush off and underplay concerns and lie. Really builds trust. At least they've given us plenty of good bribes during this campaign. My town got some cool outdoor exercise equipment in the park that no one asked for. They also bankrolled The Bruce documentary which I thought was really good. Can't find it online though. No doubt people are coming around to it, generations of highly paid dog fucking will had by the guys at the security booth. Probably even better than the make work at the Point.

I've been living here a few years and ever since I've moved here, when I started paying attention to it, this topic was always about where the spent fuel would be stored. You have one of those yellow signs out, don't you?

I do not. And in fact I'm hoping to get on the gravy train like your mayor and get a grant. Seems like they give one to any yahoo with a sports team. Might as well sell my soul while there's a sellers market. I've always seen it described as "mostly low level waste"
