Lucknow residents looking forward to supporting Almost Famous Players

It was nice to hear that
Hamish Black did so well in
his athletic endeavours this
past winter. We wish him
well for the future.
The Lucknow Rumoli
Club met recently for our
monthly meeting. Due to ill-
ness, we were down in num-
bers, but the jollity and
laughter more than made
up for the fewer people out
for the evening.
The Lucknow Sepoy
Ranees also met recently for
our regular monthly get-
together. We car-pooled over
to Goderich where we had
lunch at "Flippen Eggs" fol-
lowed by a fun afternoon of
games in the common room
of my apartment building.
We had a lot of fun despite
the absolutely dreadful rainy
day.
Coming soon for all to
enjoy will be the Almost
Famous Players. They will
be putting on several shows
at F.E. Madill later this
month. Try to take in a
show if you can, they
always put on great show.
Watch for flyers with dates
and times.
Once again our weather
has been playing havoc
with us, one day rain, the
next snow, the next so
much sun, you get a sun
burn. I wish it would make
up its mind and stick to
something we can get used
to.
Sympathies of the com-
munity to the families of:

Kincardine; Mary Wain, 69,

kenzie, 93, Walkerton.
NWMO says managing used nuclear fuel is an ethical issue, not spatial
CONTINUED FROM > PAGE 1
With this new multi -bar-
rier containment system
the used nuclear fuel bun-
dles are encased in the cop-
per -coated steel canisters,
which are then packed in
bentonite clay blocks.
This entire process is
done above ground at the
site's processing plant
before the bundle is shut-
tled approximately 500
meters below the earth
where it is then buried in
channels cut into the sedi-
mentary rock.
It is then packed into
place with more of this clay,
which expands when it
comes into contact with
water.
The multi -barrier system
won Chris Hatton, NWMO
president of design and
construction, the 2015
Innovative Achievement
Award, which was the first
time the honour had been
handed out since 2012.
The layout of the reposi-
tory will cover 340 hectares,
or a roughly 3km by 2km
square footprint under-
ground. Its life -cycle costs
will be published in the
near future, WIlson said,
and testing of the contain-
ers is now in its third year.
Meanwhile the NWMO
has divided site selection
process into nine steps with
the final step being the start
of construction.
The project is currently
at the third phase of step
two, preliminary assess-
ment, which Krizanc said
NWMO hopes to complete
by 2023.
The preferred site will be
identified in step six.
"We from the beginning
said we're going to take the
time necessary to do it
right," said Krizanc. "We
don't have a fixed time
table:'
No bore holes have yet
been drilled to examine the
host rock of any of the vying
nine communities. The
NWMO is currently planning
to drill test holes, but not for
at least a year.
"We will only move
forward with this project if it
will contribute to the long-
term well being of the com-
munity," said Krizanc.
And it's for the community
to decide what that means,
he said.
"If you go out and ask peo-
ple who don't have an axe to
grind they will tell you we
have a responsibility. We can't
leave this for our children and
grandchildren," he said. "We
have a responsibility. We can't
leave this at the surface for-
ever and ever. We have a
responsibility because we
don't know what society is
going to be like in 10,000
years, 5,000 years from now.
And we can't expect future
generations to continually pay
and look after this used
nuclear fuel," he said.

Derek Wilson, the NWMO's
vice president of design and
construction, said the recently
released updated project
description shows a plan that
has been greatly influenced
from the design of the CANDU
nuclear fuel bundles:

Generation's Western Waste Management Facility at the Bruce
nuclear site. Pictured behind him in the warehouse are 1,200
dry storage containers filled with radioactive used nuclear fuel
bundles waiting for a host city to be named for the NWMO's
underground waste management facility.
