An organization tasked with managing Canada's nuclear waste found one site to store millions of bundles of radioactive used fuel for thousands of years hundreds of metres underground — and now it's looking for a second.

Ontario Power Generation should build an energy system based on renewable technologies rather than importing nuclear reactors from an unreliable French utility.

The organization responsible for managing Canada’s nuclear waste and the U.S. Department of Energy have pledged to work together on the long-term storage of spent nuclear fuel.

Next-generation nuclear technology “has no part in fighting the climate emergency,” Green Party Leader Elizabeth May said Tuesday as a handful of MPs joined anti-nuclear activists to voice concern about the federal government’s intention to expand nuclear power. 

A pro nuclear energy campaigner confronted Canada’s new environment minister at the UN climate change conference in Glasgow Wednesday and tried to grill him about the anti-nuclear stance he held before entering politics.
