Shouldn there be a buffer zone around the Cameco Fuel Manufacturing plant in Port Hope?
The facility is licensed on the basis of restricting impact on people and the environment to safe levels. The facility’s containment systems and shielding ensure that the impact on people is negligible even if they live very close to the plant. The mandate of the nuclear industry’s regulator, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, includes consideration of safety of facilities and, as evidenced by its licensing of the facility, the commission is satisfied with the company’s policies.
