'Dr. Walther's assumption that nuclear is the only non-carbon emitting source of energy is very incorrect to state.'
In a letter to the editor sent by Dr. Mirco Walther, D. B. A, titled: “Deep disappointment over council’s opposition to store nuclear waste in Northern Ontario” brings great opposition to his/her letter and a great deal of support for the City of Thunder Bay’s Council.
2. Also, it should be mentioned that Onkala is only 5 km. from Olkiluoto Nuclear Power Plant in the municipality of Eurajoki on the southwest coast of Finland. The ‘Proximity Principle’ is applied here. Apparently, Finland had applied the ‘Cost Principle’ as well to their decision not to send nuclear waste to Lapp Land – the most northern district in Finland. The total land mass of Finland is 338.48 km.2, and the total land mass of Ontario is 1.08 million km.
4. Also quoted by Dr. Walther, it is stated: “These containers are also built to withstand being hit by a train moving at speed.” What speed? I visited a test facility in 2017, and in viewing a video of a drop test from about 2-3 m., the container showed damage at one of the bottom corners. Certainly, damage due to a roll-over and/or bouncing container descending about 30+ metres would surely part the lid from the rest of the container.
