No waste in Lac du Bonnet saysWNR E experts
Whiteshell Nuclear Research Establishment staff near Pinawa say there was never any plan to store nuclear waste at the Lac Du Bonnet shaft or to expand it for storage. Local union leader Horst Sommerfeld notes the shaft is a research tool for groundwater and rock studies and that any future mine-like expansion would be for research only. Critics argue Ontario towns oppose storage and question the project’s size and purpose while supporters emphasize democratic discussion and continued research.

A class project will build a home with a basement on the reserve, with materials bought from local merchants.
