Deep Geological Repository (DGR) for Canada's Used Nuclear Fuel Project
Include transportation as a risk

Hi,
Transportation of the radioactive wastes should be included (the NWMO intends to send 2-3 trucks per day for fifty years; trips will average 1,800 km over mostly two-lane public roads, travelling from nuclear generating stations in southern Ontario and eastern Canada to the NWMO’s proposed site in the headwaters of the Wabigoon River in northwestern Ontario). The NWMO should not exclude this from from its risk assessment. This is a risk and danger that should be assessed and dealt with rather than turning a blind eye to the dangers this transportation of nuclear waste poses.
Thank you
