Submission: RNAO Submission to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission on the Application to Renew the License of the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station

May 7, 2018

RNAO welcomes this opportunity offered by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) to respond to Ontario Power Generation's (OPG) application to renew its nuclear power reactor operating licence for the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station (Ref. 2018-H-03). OPG is requesting the renewal of its licence from its current expiry date of August 31, 2018 for ten years. OPG plans to end commercial operations at Pickering by December 31, 2024. The issue matters a great deal to nurses because of its health implications and because they are heavily involved in any disaster responses (see the appendix). RNAO urges the CNSC to adopt a precautionary approach that prioritizes human health.

March 5, 2018

As a partner in the Smoke-Free Ontario Strategy (SFO) for more than a decade, RNAO knows it is critical not to undermine advances that have been made through the Smoke-Free Ontario Act. The primary public health concerns with respect to use of cannabis in public spaces are: harms from second-hand cannabis smoke; potential harms of exposure to second-hand cannabis vapour; and concern about the social renormalization of smoking.
