“There is nothing more costly than nuclear power. Japan should achieve zero nuclear plants and aim for a more sustainable society.”  <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=d5a13a97f7&e=45743fde61> Mr. Koizumi, Former Japanese Prime Minister

But he said in Tuesday’s speech that he had reversed his stance after the nuclear accident at Tepco’s Fukushima complex two and a half years ago, which left at least 83,000 people homeless and forced a multibillion-dollar cleanup that has been riddled with mistakes and accidents.

☢ Pickering nuclear project a $2 billion-dollar question <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=bf4870e7e2&e=45743fde61>  Squeezing another five years of life out of the Pickering nuclear station could turn into a $1.3 billion benefit -- or a $760 million loss. “The Pickering reactors are already some of the most expensive reactors in North America to operate. Continuing to run them as electricity demand drops is like dumping more money down a giant hole,” Stensil said.

☢ Impartiality of federal panel reviewing nuclear-waste plan under scrutiny <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=b5e1397d56&e=45743fde61>  The federal panel that is reviewing a controversial plan to bury nuclear waste on the shores of Lake Huron is facing a challenge to its own impartiality over concerns that Ottawa’s top nuclear regulator essentially endorsed the project at a meeting with its promoters.

☢ Deep Geological Repository opponents getting leg up at hearings, Sarnia Mayor Mike Bradley says <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=fff4c07941&e=45743fde61>  “If you were scoring this as a prize fight, the people opposed are way ahead at getting on the record the geological concerns, the process concerns and now the integrity of the panel concerns,” he said.
