Waterkeeper's comments for the Nuclear Safety Commission's BWXT relicensing hearing
BWXT Nuclear Energy Canada (BWXT) operates nuclear processing facilities in Toronto and Peterborough. They supply fuel pellets for the Pickering and Darlington Nuclear Generating Stations. BWXT’s licence is set to expire later in 2020, and Waterkeeper prepared a report to help ensure any new licence issued by the CNSC Commission promotes the swimmability, drinkability, and fishability of the Lake Ontario watershed. We’ve posted a summary of our comments and the original submissions here.
Waterkeeper and Swim Drink Fish make recommendations to strengthen Canada-Ontario agreement on the Great Lakes
We are supportive of government’s continued coordination efforts and the commitment being made to Great Lakes restoration. In particular, we recognize and appreciate the attention to sewage pollution issues, improved monitoring and public alerts for sewage spills, and the attention being paid to microplastics and road salt pollution.
