The Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility (CCNR) has submitted a report to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) urging the rejection of Ontario Power Generation's (OPG) request to refurbish four reactors at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. The coalition argues that continuing operations poses an unacceptable risk to over 1.1 million residents within 20 kilometers and twice as many within 30 kilometers. Key concerns include homeowner insurance exclusions for nuclear contamination, OPG's 2016 decision to reject refurbishment at $10.7 billion cost, and the station's planned shutdown by 2030. The report emphasizes that current refurbishment costs are prohibitively high compared to alternative energy options. Dr. Gordon Edwards and Dr. Sunil Nijhawan, leading the report, stress that even low-probability nuclear disasters could have catastrophic consequences for Toronto and surrounding areas. The recommendation highlights systemic issues in nuclear safety protocols and economic viability of aging reactors.
