A standard homeowner's policy wouldn't cover your property or home if damaged or made uninhabitable because of a nuclear incident, said Pete Karageorgos, director of consumer and industry relations (Ontario) for the Insurance Bureau of Canada.
"[It's] difficult to quantify or put a price on what the cost to insure that, or it's a situation where it's over such a large and wide geographic area that it is uninsurable because of the potential payout in damage."
Karageorgos said that in his 27-year insurance career, he has never heard of nuclear waste being covered by a homeowner's policy.
