Fronde contre le projet d’enfouissement de déchets nucléaires de Chalk River
AI Article Summary

There is ongoing opposition to a nuclear waste burial project at Chalk River, led by Indigenous leaders and elected officials. The Kebaowek community has been opposing this project for nearly a decade due to environmental and rights concerns. The Canadian Nuclear Laboratories argue that their project poses no contamination risk, but a Federal Court has acknowledged the lack of proper consultation with the Indigenous communities. Various advocacy groups and municipalities are also voicing their opposition to this project being built close to the Ottawa River.
