Nuclear plant at risk of ‘Fukushima-type accident,’ Ontario group says,
National Observer,
By Charles Mandel | News, Energy | April 8th 2021 Citing the potential for a repeat of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear meltdown, the Ontario Clean Air Alliance wants an interim moratorium on the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station’s (PNGS) operation.
The aging plant is slated for closure in 2024, and the alliance says a moratorium should be imposed until the operators can prove to the public that it poses no risk to public safety. Ontario Power Generation (OPG) operates the plant, which consists of eight CANDU reactors a type of reactor that uses deuterium oxide, or heavy water, as a moderator and coolant and natural (not enriched) uranium as a fuel. Two of the plant’s reactors have already been permanently shuttered because of their age.
Captain Fantastic starring Viggo Mortensen (best known for his role as Aragorn in
Lord of the Rings) opens with a scene of a camouflaged hunter in the forest taking down a deer with a crossbow. Encouraged by Mortensen, the young boy cuts out the deer’s heart and devours the still warm organ.
Ah, the off-grid life nothing like it.
Except this doesn’t resemble anything like the life we live off grid. True, the guy we bought our house from a self-styled outdoors television show host who legally changed his name to Rugged Dude embraced hunting, and while we first toured the property often mentioned repeatedly all the creatures we could “shoot in the face.”
