As reported by The Star of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 'Ontario Power Generation was asked by the federal government to identify "actual locations" as alternates for its plan to bury nuclear waste. It's now up to the minister as to whether they've done that.'
Remarkably, as reported by Jennifer Wells, business columnist at The Star:
OPG has defined two alternate locations — one a “crystalline” rock location, which OPG has used interchangeably with granite, and the other a sedimentary rock location. Fourteen GPS co-ordinates, including Ryden’s Border Store [in Grand Portage, Minnesota, U.S.A.] and a spot in Lake Erie, have been provided to define the first of these. When mapped, the 14 form the perimeter of this so-called “crystalline alternate location.” Plotted by the Star’s Matthew Cole, the result is a 726,052-square-kilometre land mass covering roughly 73 per cent of the province.
The article also reports:
Equally curious, the co-ordinates for the second alternate include a stately two story brick home in Chaplin Estates, near Yonge St. and Davisville Ave.
As reported by Seymour Real Estate, Chaplin Estates happens to offer "some of the most luxurious homes in Toronto" -- that is, the largest city in Canada. Ontario Power Generation should have known that, as it is headquartered in that very same city!
Suffice it to say, had this been a junior high science homework assignment, OPG would have earned a resounding F. It's high time for Canada's Environment Minister, Catherine McKenna, to flunk OPG's DUD (short for Deep Underground Dump)!
