APTN Investigates has produced a 2-part investigational piece entitled "Nuclear Courtship" on potential disposal of high-level nuclear waste, and indigenous concerns surrounding this.
From APTN's promo: "The nuclear industry has a problem: where to put its radioactive waste? The industry's proposed solution is to put much of it deep underground in the Canadian shield. But will the First Nations communities they're courting allow it?"
In the second segment which airs Feb. 14, Environment North Board members Graham Saunders and Dodie LeGassick are interviewed about Environment North's concerns re: the Nuclear Waste Management Organization’s plans for a deep geological repository for ALL of Canada’s high level waste in Northwestern Ontario.
The segments air in Thunder Bay on Friday, Feb. 7 and Friday, Feb. 14 at 6:30pm (show re-runs at 11:30pm). Check your local listings.
