> The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency and the Canadian  
> Nuclear Safety Commission released draft guidelines on April 7th  
> for the environmental review of two separate projects proposed for  
> the Bruce Nuclear Station near Kincardine, on the eastern shore of  
> Lake Huron.
>
> Bruce Power Inc. and Ontario Power Generation are the proponents  
> for the projects. Bruce Power is proposing the construction of up  
> to four new nuclear reactors at the existing Bruce Nuclear Site,  
> located on the eastern shore of Lake Huron, north of Kincardine.  
> The project is expected to generate approximately 4,000 megawatts  
> of electricity to the Ontario grid.
>
> Ontario power Generation is proposing to construct and operate a  
> deep-geologic disposal facility on the Bruce Nuclear Site to  
> receive low and intermediate-level radioactive wastes, produced  
> from the continued operation of OPG-owned nuclear generating  
> stations at Bruce, Pickering and Darlington, Ontario. Low-level  
> waste consists of industrial items that have become contaminated  
> with low levels of radioactivity, during routine clean-up and  
> maintenance activities at nuclear generating stations. Intermediate- 
> level radioactive waste consists primarily of used nuclear reactor  
> components - such as the ion-exchange resins and filters used to  
> purify reactor water systems
>
> Review participants, including Northwatch, have until June 18th to  
> review and comment on draft guidelines for the Environmental Impact  
> Statement. The guidelines identify the information needed to  
> examine the potential environmental effects of the proposed  
> project, as well as its requirements for a licence to prepare a  
> site. A draft Joint Panel Review agreement is also available for  
> public review. The JRP agreement deals with the establishment of an  
> environmental review panel to perform an assessment of the  
> project's environmental impact and of the application for a licence  
> to prepare a site, which will be the first of a series of licences  
> required by the Nuclear Safety and Control Act and its regulations.
