Description
Canada has a nuclear problem... a nuclear waste problem. Since the dawn of nuclear power technology, solutions to waste have all been remarkably temporary given the longevity of the danger the material presents.
For decades, the hunt for a solution has spanned across provinces — even across countries. But the hope is that by 2023 Canada will have found a home - and permanent solution - for all of the country's nuclear waste.
This endeavor is pitting neighbour against neighbour — community against community. And the stakes are high for the future of the nuclear industry.
CANADALAND senior producer Sarah Lawrynuik ventures to Northwestern Ontario to bring you this story.
