Anti-nuclear flyers sent to 50,000 homes are ‘fear mongering,’ says top scientist | CBC News: Paul Gierszewski, the director of safety and technical research with the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO), the federal agency tasked with finding a permanent place to store Canada’s stockpile of nuclear waste, said the flyers are an attempt to deliberately deceive the public.

“From my perspective it’s being deliberately vague and its encouraging people to misinterpret the project,” he said. “It’s fear mongering in a way. Our approach is to isolate and contain the waste.”

The NWMO has been tasked with finding a permanent home for the most toxic waste Canada has ever produced, a stockpile of three million spent nuclear fuel bundles, which could end up at one of two potential sites: Ignace, a community northwest of Thunder Bay and the town of South Bruce on the shore of Lake Huron.
