[edit]

where do they put the nuclear waste from the reactor in saint Andrews, new Brunswick? In Moncton, New Brunswick?

[edit]

where does that nuclear waste go? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.252.41.225 (talk) 01:48, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Low and intermediate waste from the nuclear power plants in New Brunswick and Quebec is stored on-site in special structures of concrete and other materials"[1], according to the Canadian Nuclear Association. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reports that "sitting in seven locations across Eastern and Central Canada are more than two million fire-log-sized used nuclear fuel-rod bundles"[2] they haven't quite figured out how to dispose of. Got a big storage facility you want to rent out for 200,000 years? Clarityfiend (talk) 08:43, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
