The Saugeen Ojibway Nation in Ontario has chosen not to support a proposal from Ontario Power Generation that would have seen the construction of a Deep Geologic Repository (DGR) at the Bruce nuclear site.
The proposed project would have created a permanent disposal site for low and intermediate level nuclear waste.
Responding to a vote by members of Saugeen Ojibway Nation (SON) not to support the DGR project for low- and intermediate-level waste, OPG CEO and President Ken Hartwick said: “OPG respects the decision of SON members. We will now move forward to develop an alternate solution.”
