www.tbsource.com Thunder Bay's Source Local News 2005: "Another Step Toward Nuclear Dump

A decision on where to bury nuclear waste--whether in the Precambrian Shield of northern Ontario or somewhere else, is still years away. But an important step has been taken with the release of an interim report by the Nuclear Waste Management Organization. The report outlines a twenty-four billion dollar process to bury spent nuclear fuel.

The waste would go into a storage facility deep within Earth's rock. Ontario Energy Minister Dwight Duncan says once a way to store the waste is decided, the next steps will be the hardest, especially choosing a location for the repository.

Greenpeace Canada's David Martin says dealing with nuclearwaste is too risky, and the country has to stop producing it by phasing out its nuclear plants."
