Canada mishandling nuclear waste plans, Indigenous, environmental groups warn

By CBC News Ottawa, April 23, 2018

Environmental groups also say the controversy over the site near Chalk River, Ont., illustrates the fact that the federal government lacks suitable policies to regulate the handling of nuclear waste.
