> Revell River is a watershed for local communities, and South Bruce is a farming community. Thus, expect to be sued by dozens of folks... Not “if” but “when” the site inevitably leaks like the identical facilities in the US and Germany. Given that the storage will be several hundred metres below the surface and the water table of (e.g.) the Bruce area is at ~35m: * http://home.waterprotection.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Mildmay_Well_Supply.pdf http://home.waterprotection.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Mi... Not sure what such an incident would really do. Especially since the Bruce nuclear plant is already storaging spent fuel on-site for about forty years, so it's not much different if that location is picked. > If it was such a great safe idea, why not install it in downtown New York or Washington? Good jobs program right... ;) Sure. Things are currently held on-site at nuclear plants, and they can continue to do so indefinitely IMHO. I'm in Toronto, ~50km from the Pickering plant, and I'd be fine with that. I good friend of mine has lived in Pickering all his life and doesn't give it a second thought. Heck, if OPG wants to build a spent fuel pool in my backyard I'd be happy to accept it: free year-round "ground-source" heating/cooling for me. * https://what-if.xkcd.com/29/ https://what-if.xkcd.com/29/ * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFRUL7vKdU8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFRUL7vKdU8
