'Insanity' to allow nuclear waste disposal near Ottawa River, Indigenous groups say

By CBC News Ottawa, January 18, 2018

Indigenous groups say a plan to dispose of nuclear waste near the Ottawa River in eastern Ontario is "insanity" and want the federal government to intervene.

Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, a private company, wants a 10-year licence to keep running the Chalk River nuclear labs in eastern Ontario.
