Well sure except for all that pesky radioactive waste.

""
In March 1998, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) Panel reported to the Canadian government that the safety of a geologic disposal concept had been adequately demonstrated. It concluded that the deep geologic disposal of high-level radioactive waste (spent nuclear fuel or solidified nuclear waste) 500 to 1000 meters (1,640 to 3,280 feet) deep within the stable plutonic rock of the Canadian shield constituted a safe and compliant passive long-term storage option.

The CEAA Panel also recommended the creation of an independent waste management organization (WMO). The WMO, yet to be created, will implement the study of long-term spent nuclear fuel/high-level radioactive waste management options.

I wonder how all that is going?

Did you know they've transferred all the staff for the Deep Geology Disaster from OPG to this nwmo. Now, I don't have to make fun of the old company, which really tears at my heart!
