Group says CNSC has prejudiced hearing

Canada's nuclear regulator has "prejudiced" its public hearing by concluding that Bruce Power's plan to ship steam generators through the Great Lakes doesn't pose a significant safety risk, according to Great Lakes United.

Derek Stack, executive director of the Canadian-American group, said the low-level radioactive waste shipments should be halted until the plan is subjected to full community consultation.

"But we think they should trigger a full environment assessment into Bruce Power's plans," executive director John Bennett said in a statement.
