A nuclear power company wanted to construct a deep storage facility within 1/2 mile of Lake huron.
They have now withdrawn their petition after 16 years of pursuit.
The company will now find alternative options for their waste from 20 nuclear reactors.
3.2 million cubic feet for those interested.

"An Ontario nuclear power generating company has officially dropped its pursuit of a deep underground storage facility for low- to intermediate-level radioactive waste within a half-mile of Lake Huron."

This will become an issue as nuclear plants around the world will run out of storage space eventually.

Linky no worky.
I don’t want that sh!t near me.
They should drop the waste off at CHOP in Seattle.
Give the terrorists something to do.

It's already near you if you are anywhere close to a nuke plant.. All their used fuel is stored on site.

Up here in northern Ontario, small towns have been bidding on being the location for nuclear waste storage.

I can imagine they would be.
Probably a nice payday for a town in need of funds.

How much does the stuff weigh? Maybe Elon Musk can get the contract to launch nuclear waste into space with his new shiny heavy lift rockets...half joking.

Fermi nuke plant is about 50 miles away from me.

Yeah, what could possibly go wrong?

Nuclear fuel is very dense so it's heavy.
But I think the idea of taking all that waste up thousands of feet and blowing up a rocket releasing the fuel into the atmosphere is a bad idea.

The stuff came out of the ground so just put it back.

Then you are 50 miles away from tons of nuclear waste.

I remember at one time the US was looking to build a single storage site for all nuclear waste. The area was meant to be geologically stable and they were going to dig so for down that if anything ever went wrong there was no way for it to affect people on the surface. I liked that plan. IMO it would be far safer than on-site storage that they do now.

Much safer.
Unfortunately it's the radioactive boogie man.

I have a friend who retired quite well from the building of Yucca Mountain. Good scam.

Did they ever do much construction there?
I thought it was stopped.

As in when people here the word radiation they freak out and have absolutely no clue about science involved.

1800 feet under lake huron lays a salt mine. That would be perfect for it.

That’s probably why that site was chosen.

Yeah..no....a big hell no.
Allow me to explain..


Bury it away from water sources, including deep groundwater.
The salt gets wet, it dissolves like sugar into a giant void that collapses like a sinkhole.
I bet the nuke waste would dissolve it slightly quicker

Haha,, I remember that one.
Oil well drilled right into a salt mine.
