South Bruce narrowly votes to host underground nuclear waste disposal site
Six different bore holes produced approximately 5 km of core samples while exploring a Deep Geologic Repository (DGR) near the Bruce Power nuclear plant The DGR is being proposed to store nuclear waste deep underground. Core samples dug in and around the site beside Lake Huron show the rock formation to be extremely stable with no signs of movement for millions of years. This will make it safe from any future geologic events such as earthquakes. June 26 2013. (Fred Lum/ The Globe and Mail)
