On April 19, 2005, Lake Ontario Waterkeeper wrote to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) requesting permission to make an oral presentation on May 19, 2005, regarding the matter of Bruce A Refurbishment for Life Extension and Continued Operations Project.
Waterkeeper has requested that the CNSC rule that the scope of the Project is: ‘the use of SEU-based fuel throughout Ontario and all activities performed in connection to the use of SEU throughout Ontario, including, but not limited to, the manufacture, transportation, and disposal thereof’.
