OPG Planned Deep Geologic Repository (DGR)
7 12/15/2015
Reasons to be Concerned
• OPG only considered one site 1 km from the Great Lakes
• Lack of public consultation
• Toxicity/longevity of nuclear waste
• All 3 DGR’s on planet have leaked
• Kincardine DGR sets precedent for high level nuclear waste DGR in Great Lakes Basin

Kincardine DGR is a Trojan Horse

First Nations Speak Out
Vernon Roote
Saugeen Ojibway Nation Chief
“If something were to happen with the disposal or the leakage of nuclear waste
I wouldn't want to be drinking the water downstream," said Roote. "That means
the balance of Lake Huron, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and also anyone drinking
from those lakes, even into the U.S.A."

Clinton Phillips
Mohawk Chief
“While the Bruce Power plant is hundreds of kilometers from Kahnawà:ke, any
potential nuclear contamination problem could nonetheless affect not only us
but the 40 million-plus people who use the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence River for
drinking water.
“On this basis, we have an obligation to remain vigilant and to support our
brothers and sisters at Saugeen,” he concluded. “There needs to be a much
better and safer plan for the disposal or storage of this dangerous material.”

Homer A. Mandoka
President, United Tribes of Michigan
“The United Tribes of Michigan stands firmly opposed to the
construction of a nuclear waste storage facility at the Bruce
Nuclear Power Plant site in Ontario, or any other site
situated in the drainage basin for the Great Lakes.”
