Trans-Atlantic shipping of nuclear generators plan, shelved indefinately

July 29 2013 // News

The controversial plan to ship radioactive generators across the Atlantic had been put on hold.

According to CBC News, the project called for radioactive generators from Ontario based Bruce Power to be shipped to Sweden for recycling.

It was met by public opposition by aboriginal groups, the NDP and the Bloc Québécois. They all claim that any spill in the Great Lakes region could cause a natural disaster in the area.
 
The agreement was reached in 2009 and while it is currently stalled, Bruce Power will reach out to naysayers and push for the renewal to have their generators recycled in Sweden.
