Re: Re: 多伦多的垃圾储存在Ottawa
not this one, a different location. i am also looking for the location. it is very close to Ottawa River, just 5-10 kilo meters.
I am worried, if it is West to Ottawa. And it is most likely. Kanata has 1 landfill, 2 nuke reactors, and if we add something from Toronto, it will be a dead land.

Garbage deal seen as risk for Carp dump
Councillors fear landfill site will be opened to outside waste
Alexandra Zabjek and Joel Kom, The Ottawa Citizen
Published: Monday, February 27, 2006
A contract inked this month between Peel region and Waste Management of Canada -- the company that wants to expand the landfill site at Carp Road -- has again raised concerns that Ottawa will become a dumping ground for Southern Ontario garbage.
Waste Management signed a 20-year waste-disposal deal with Peel -- which includes Brampton, Mississauga and Caledon -- earlier this month that stipulates the garbage be disposed of in Ontario.
At the same time, the company has applied to double the size of the landfill at Carp Road and the Queensway, which the company says could keep it running for 25 more years.
Ottawa Councillor Janet Stavinga, who represents residents in Goulbourn, near the site of the landfill, says there are no guarantees an expanded landfill would never be opened to taking more waste from outside Ottawa.
She said she is "very concerned" the site could be used by other Ontario municipalities as a dumping ground.
"The fact that right now Waste Management, here in Ottawa, is poised to expand for another 25 years, means that we should be very concerned about the possibility that we might get waste from other areas."
Peel now sends about 30 per cent of its household garbage to Michigan, but the state's lawmakers are trying to scuttle that system. Waste Management's promise to offer "Ontario-based" solutions to the region's garbage problem is a highlight of the agreement.
The period for public comment on the proposed expansion of the Carp Road site has been extended until May 12, and Ms. Stavinga said that time should be used to get firm answers about future plans for the landfill.
"I have questions with respect to the motives. And the public and the elected officials deserve answers," Ms. Stavinga said.
Pat Saito, a Peel regional councillor who was involved in the Waste Management contract negotiations in her former position as vice-chairwoman of regional public works, advised that Ottawa city council would be wise to confirm in writing any promises from Waste Management not to import waste from Peel.
"I would want such an assurance to be so iron-clad that it was part of the certificate of approval," said Ms. Saito.
Waste Management, however, denies the Peel contract will impact Ottawa.
"This contract doesn't affect Ottawa. Nothing is coming from Toronto and nothing will come from Peel," said Michael Walters, a company spokesman.
According to its agreement in Ottawa, Waste Management must use 90 per cent of its landfill space to accommodate Ottawa's garbage, said Mr. Walters. The company is permitted to sell the remaining 10 per cent of space to other municipalities in Eastern Ontario.
If Peel needed to ship garbage to other Ontario landfills, it might consider using Waste Management's landfills near Sarnia and Napanee, said Andrew Pollock, director of waste management for the Region of Peel.
Transportation costs would make those two sites preferable over Ottawa, said Mr. Pollock.
"As far as I'm concerned, they're not planning on taking on our waste anywhere near Ottawa," said Mr. Pollock.
But the situation could change if a Michigan law passed in the fall barring Canadian garbage receives approval from the U.S. House of Representatives. In the event of a health risk, the provincial government has the power to direct garbage to any landfill in the province, the city's legal counsel, Jennifer Jackson, told a committee in October.
The Ottawa city councillor whose West Carleton ward takes in the Carp Road landfill, Eli El-Chantiry, acknowledged that the mere idea of moving Toronto-area garbage to an Ottawa landfill could cause emotional reactions, but said the scenario is unlikely.
It would not be logical for the Region of Peel to ship its garbage all the way to Ottawa, said Mr. El-Chantiry, adding Ottawa's priority should be to find alternative solutions to its own garbage issues, without expanding current landfills.
But for some fighting Waste Management's growth plans in Ottawa, the possibility of accepting garbage from other regions is still a worry.
In Carp, residents had strong feelings about garbage from outside Ottawa landing in the landfill site at Carp Road.
Resident Kathleen Krypel said she is concerned about the lack of publicity surrounding the current application to expand the landfill, especially in light of potential environmental implications. She is suspicious of the timing of the Peel contract.
"We have our own problems and we should take care of our garbage before taking it in from somewhere else," said Ms. Krypel, who lives about four kilometres from the landfill.
Business owner John Laimite, who owns Sidco Construction near the Carp Road landfill, said he believes Waste Management would try to be conscientious about its promises, but acknowledged that political moods can change over time.
Communities must deal with their own garbage issues, said Mr. Laimite, adding that shipping garbage to the United States is not a viable solution either.

The key is "In the event of a health risk, the provincial government has the power to direct garbage to any landfill in the province".
Below is quoted from above article.

Re: Re: Re: Re: 多伦多的垃圾储存在Ottawa
Canada's Nuclear History
We had one SLOWPOKE-2 reactor at MDS Nordion's facility in Kanata.
1984 Jun 1 20 kWth SLOWPOKE at AECL Kanata attained first criticality.
1989 Apr 1 20 kWth SLOWPOKE Reactor at AECL Medical Products (now MDS Nordion) in Kanata shut down.
SLOWPOKE (Safe LOW POwer Critical(K) Experiment) research reactor was developed by AECL at Chalk River, and first went critical in May 1970
1965 Aug 16 AECL's Commercial Products Division began construction of its new facilities in Kanata, just west of Ottawa. CPD was the first company to move to the new city.
The Commercial Products Division (CPD) of crown-owned Eldorado Mining and Refining was established to market radium, following WWII. It was absorbed into AECL on Aug 1 1952, and renamed the Radiochemical Company (of AECL) in Jul 1978. The CPD/RCC developed many new uses for radioisotopes, including Co-60 for cancer treatment and irradiators, and Mo-99 for medical diagnostics. The company was transferred from AECL on Sep 30, 1988 and renamed Nordion International Inc and Theratronics International Ltd as two new crown-owned corporations. MDS Inc. bought both crown corporations, and the company is now known as MDS Nordion.
Also, Nuclear Research eXperimental, the first high-power (40 MW thermal) Canadian research reactor, built at the Chalk River Laboratories of AECL. The reactor attained first criticality on Jul 22 1947, and remained in operation until Jan 29 1992 (decision to decommission made Apr 8, 1993). It suffered from an accident on Dec 12 1952, but was rebuilt. On May 29, 1997, NRX had the second accident, the historic radioactive leak from Chalk River's NRX fuel storage bay to the Ottawa River.
MDS Nordion, Kanata: Waste Diversion Proposal
The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) has received notice from MDS Nordion, seeking an amendment to an existing licence to authorize the segregation of waste from its nuclear processing facility, and the disposal of non-hazardous radioactive waste together with conventional waste, at its processing facility in Kanata, Ontario. The existing facility is licensed with a Nuclear Substance Processing Facility Operating Licence under the Nuclear Safety and Control Act. An environmental assessment was completed for the Kanata Facility in May, 2000.
The proposed project would separate non-hazardous radioactive waste from the waste produced in the area where nuclear substances are processed, and dispose of these wastes with conventional waste. The criteria for waste to be included in the non-hazardous waste stream would be based on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) standards for unconditional clearance levels. These are levels below which radioactive waste are exempted from regulatory control.
Before the Commission makes its decision on MDS Nordion’s proposal to segregate radioactive waste and to divert the non-hazardous waste, an environmental assessment must be completed in compliance with the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. The purpose of an environmental assessment is to identify the possible environmental effects of a proposed project, and to determine whether these effects can be mitigated before the project is allowed to proceed.
A nuclear safety inspector discovered only by chance last fall that Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. had continued to dump tens of thousands of gallons of hazardous radioactive waste into the ground for a decade after promising to stop, federal regulators were told yesterday.
Officials at the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission admitted "losing track" of the problem for the last seven years because of staff turnover and poor record keeping.
Commission president Linda Keen told a public hearing here yesterday that the incidents raised questions about the competence of both AECL and the safety commission's officials and that more explanations were needed to get to the bottom of what went wrong.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: 多伦多的垃圾储存在Ottawa
Thanks for the info..
But are you really serious about this reactor at MDS Nordion?
My first impression when reading your post - Will there be another Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster happened here in Ottawa (precisely, Kanata)?
From MDS Nordion's web site (the head office of this company is located at 447 March Rd., near Morgan's Grant)..
Nuclear medicine uses very small amounts of radioisotopes or radiopharmaceuticals (substances attracted to specific organs, bones or tissues) to diagnose and treat disease. As a leading source of radioisotopes, MDS Nordion supplies major radiopharmaceutical producers worldwide. We supply over half of the world’s reactor-produced isotopes and a wide variety of cyclotron-produced isotopes. As well, MDS Nordion is involved in business partnerships to develop new radiopharmaceuticals, primarily for the treatment of cancer.

每次我们走过坎纳塔西边，都能闻到一股股的臭味，以前还以为是牛粪味，看来不是，垃圾！太厉害啦。加拿大地盘那末多，为何选咱这呀！
