Bruce Power gets approval to ship 16 radioactive generators through Great Lakes OTTAWA— The Canadian Press Published Friday, Feb. 04, 2011 8:41PM EST Last updated Saturday, Feb. 05, 2011 8:46AM EST
Bruce Power has been given the go-ahead to transport 16 decommissioned steam generators from southwestern Ontario to Sweden for recycling.
On Friday, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission issued Bruce Power a transport licence that will be valid until Feb. 3, 2012.
Environmentalists, First Nations and residents along the proposed route had expressed concerns about shipping the radioactive, school bus-sized generators through the Great Lakes from Owen Sound, Ont. ... The commission said it's satisfied that Bruce Power's application meets Canadian and international regulations for the transport of nuclear substances.
The commission said the risk to the health and safety of the public and the environment is negligible.
Bruce Power promised that the generators will be welded shut before they're shipped, but opponents fear an accident would contaminate the lakes with radiation.
