Bloc Québécois demands halt to Ontario nuclear waste facility

The Bloc Québécois is urging an immediate halt to a nuclear waste facility at Chalk River, Ontario, citing risks to Quebec's water supply. The project, approved in January, will store up to one million cubic meters of low-level radioactive waste near the Ottawa River. Canadian Nuclear Laboratories claims the site poses no risk, with 90% of waste already on-site. The facility is about one kilometer from the river.
