Saugeen Ojibway Nation votes no on deep geologic repository at Bruce Power

From Gordon Edwards in Ontario:

The Saugeen Ojibway Nation (SON) has voted against Ontario Power Generation’s Deep Geological Disposal (DGR) project, planned to house all of Ontario’s Low and Intermediate Level Waste (LILW) at a site within a mile of the northwestern shore of Lake Huron.

However, the OPG project for LILW has no direct bearing on the other DGR project for High-Level Waste (HLW). The Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) will continue to search for a willing host community to build a DGR to house all of Canada’s irradiated nuclear fuel — also called high level waste — including two candidate sites in the same area as the OPG DGR project that now been rejected by SON.
