You know that saying IF THEYRE SLEEPING DONT WAKE EM UP ?????? DANDER!!!!! WARNING!!!!!! TIME TO WAKE UP, THEYRE UP TO NO GOOD YET AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! The rising concerns and complaints expressed on both sides of the Detroit River about a proposed underground nuclear waste repository in Ontario — less than a mile from the shores of Lake Huron — appear to be falling on deaf ears. The publics perceptions of risk from nuclear facilities can be discounted because they are not in line with facts and are fueled by pop culture and myths, according to the head of Canadas nuclear safety regulatory agency. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission cannot be expected to reject a safe project due to lack of social acceptability, agency president and CEO Michael Binder said during a presentation at the University of Calgary in October titled: Is Social License a License to Stall?

Opponents question siting a nuclear waste dump next to the Great Lakes, from which 24 million U.S. residents get drinking water. The lakes also make possible Michigans $2-billion fishing, $4-billion boating and $18-billion tourism industries. Its kind of hard to believe he would say that in public, only a few years after the Fukushima incident that we still havent gotten under control, said St. Clair Shores resident Stephen Kiluk. But in his presentation, Binder cited the March 2011 disaster at a nuclear plant in Japan following an earthquake and subsequent tsunami as an example affecting the publics risk bias. He noted that no one died from radiation poisoning as a result of the Fukushima accident.
