Nuclear Critics Pan License Renewal for Pickering

摘要

Watchdog groups are crying foul over a 10-year licence renewal for Pickering's nuclear station. Earlier this summer, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) approved the renewal after hearings held in June. It allows Ontario Power Generation (OPG) to continue to operate Pickering through 2024, with the removal of fuel and water to take place between 2024 and 2028. Shawn-Patrick Stensil of Greenpeace says there was little information on why CNSC granted the renewal.
