Among those opposed---the Chippewas of Nawash First Nation.Included in a comprehensive submission opposing the plan,the First Nation said the radioactive materials in the spent fuel can cause cancer and birth defects if inhaled or ingested, even after thousands of years.The dry storage silos that Hydro is proposing have a life span of 50 years.There is nothing in Hydro's Comprehensive Environmental Study that convinces us that radioactive materials would not leak from the silos if they were damaged by an earthquake or after an impact with an airplane or truck.As well, the First Nation concerns included the Hydro proposal fails to acknowledge the importance of three aboriginal burial sites at the Bruce Nuclear Power Development--one of them within the perimeter of the proposed dry fuel storage facility. ------------ See: Federal Government Approves Nuclear Waste Site (The London Free Press 5/14/99) for the story. http://www.canoe.ca/LondonNews/lf.lf-05-14-0015.html ------------ Reprinted under the fair use http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/107.html doctrine of international copyright law. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Tsonkwadiyonrat (We are ONE Spirit) Unenh onhwa' Awayaton http://www.tdi.net/ishgooda/ &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
