THUNDER BAY - NEWS - Environment North held their Annual General Meeting on Saturday with special guest speaker Dr. Gordon Edwards.
Dr. Gordon Edwards is a retired professor of mathematics and science. He serves as an expert advisor on nuclear issues and is the President of the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility (visit CCNR.org). One of his many strengths is his ability to communicate with the public on the realities of radioactive risks, including the risks of nuclear waste transportation and burial.
Dr. Edwards shared a message about radioactive waste and the risks and concerns related to a proposal to transport and bury all of Canada's high level waste in a single location.
The Nuclear Waste Management Organization is studying an area between Ignace and Dryden as a potential site for processing and burying all of Canada's high level radioactive waste (irradiated nuclear fuel).
