Pickering residents’ lives continue to be endangered thanks to OPG and the City Council’s acceptance of its policies.
The Pickering Nuclear plant has been resurrected by the Government of Ontario resurrecting the same old endangerment to the lives of not just Pickering residents but residents of much of Southern Ontario.
This is how the nuclear waste is managed: “The deadly radioactive waste is stored in conventional commercial warehouses on the shores of Lake Ontario, the source of drinking water for millions of people. And that waste isn’t going anywhere for decades — if ever.” Angela Bischoff, Ontario Clean Air Alliance.
The OPG, manager of the Pickering nuclear plant just keeps on mismanaging this operation, over and over.
A testing of the nuclear alarm system in late 2023, went awry when no alarms were heard throughout Pickering. An executive at the nuclear plant explained that the system did not sound throughout all of Pickering but just in some selected areas. What kind of test is that if only selected people are supposed to hear it?
The evacuation procedure for Pickering has never been tested, no idea how such can be tested but the procedure has not been updated for more than ten years. A sure way to make residents feel secure, isn’t it?
So if there is an nuclear accident at the Pickering plant, the lives of the populace within close proximity are at serious risk. Take your idodine pills folks !
