I keep coming back to Chalk River, because I'd rather be proactive than become radioactive one day.
In October 2015, two months after the contract was signed, Canadian Nuclear Laboratories notified the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission of its intention to build a disposal facility. After that, things happened very quickly. Six months later, in 2016, a regulatory application was made to amend the licence. A year later, in 2017, Canadian Nuclear Laboratories submitted their licence application.
Was Canadian Nuclear Laboratories able to obtain enough information to properly assess the project? There are a lot of gaps that have been raised by experts, so I'm wondering about how fast things unfolded in a project like this.
Who or what will this project really benefit? Is it the citizens, the environment, future generations, the public purse?
