Comment text
I don't believe that enough research has gone into how the transportation route impacts the safety of moving used nuclear fuel to the chosen site near Ignace, Ontario. No matter how secure the containers for the waste product are, they must travel long distances over 2 lane highways with documented multiple accidents with tractor trailers. There are also many highway closures in which there are no alternative routes, such as at Nipigon, Ontario. I respectfully ask you to do a full assessment of the route chosen for transportation and its' full impact on safe transport of the hazardous substance.
