“The radiological risk to the environment and people’s health is negligible,” Canada’s nuclear regulator said in a statement. “The CNSC, along with Environment Canada, continue to monitor the situation.”

Toronto and the GTA are fucking attention whores, it's probably bugging their asses that they can't one up Japan.

On 9/11 they all thought the CN TOWER would be hit...not Ottawa (Parliment), not steel factories (weapons), not Niagara Falls (energy)! a useless piece of pointy steel. Attention whores!!! Ignore them!

So some pumps failed, but that's pretty much the only issue as of now?

I guess we'll have to wait to see if it develops, which it better not, I live in the GTA >:(

The only difference is japan couldn't get power back on due to tsunami taking out generators. We're not having that problem obviously, so it better be ok

I live a 25 minute drive from Pickering. We had to do drills in grade school on what to happen if it went critical.



ANYWAYS, it's got a horrible safety record and staff have been compared to the workers from the Simpsons in the local papers. They have heavy water leaks all the time, straight into Lake Ontario. Our drinking water always has traces of Uranium.

I'm a bigtime Nuketard because of this.. And anyways, I'm not worried, like I said, they spill heavy water all the time, no big deal (except in the long run, of course).

yeah but this was a "water seal failure"
what does that mean?
is this only hitting the news because of Japan? (I hope) not happy to hear it has a horrible safety record.

Norman Rubin is the Senior Consultant from Borealis Energy Research Association and Director of Nuclear Research and Senior Policy Analyst for Energy Probe. He published a study that found that the higher rates of childhood leukemia mortality around the Pickering and Bruce Nuclear Generating Stations is "statistically significant" at the 19 times out of 20 (p<05) level.

...

Another study in 1991 by David McArthur, a former Canadian Nuclear Association researcher, found that approximately 33% of birth defects in Pickering may be caused by the Pickering Candu nuclear plant. "The radioactive isotopes tritium and carbon-14 are most likely the cause of at least seven types of (birth) defects. CANDU reactors routinely release large amounts of both isotopes--more than other reactor types--and the Pickering station has exceeded its short-term radiation release guidelines.

they just said on Toronto news (CP24) that the leak was from a storage container housing spent fuel rods, and that the radioactivity of the water released is negligible. They didn't say anything about the current status of the pumps.
