The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) wants more information before ruling on whether Bruce Power can ship 16 used radioactive steam generators through the Great Lakes and along the St. Lawrence Seaway. Environmentalists, First Nations and residents along the proposed route are concerned about shipping the school bus-sized steam generators from Owen Sound to Sweden for recycling. The commission wants more data on the Environmental Impact Assessment, emergency plans, and the amount of radioactivity allowed in shipments. The CNSC is encouraging the 79 participants in hearings last month in Ottawa to file written submissions by Nov. 22. Bruce Power has said a person would have to stand beside one of the generators for a few hours to receive the same amount of radiation given off by a chest X-ray.
