Nuclear Safety Watchdog Confronted By Anti-Nuclear Coalition

There was a clear disconnect between what the Nuclear Safety Commission was in town for and what an anti-nuclear coalition thought it should have been here for.

Sharon Flatt-Murphy of the Conservation Council tells CHSJ News there are questions about the safety of the Point Lepreau nuclear power plant that should be addressed.

The Safety Commission's Kevin Scissons says this wasn't a formal hearing where such issues are dealt with.

He adds they were here to let people know what the Commission does but you had to register beforehand to get in. Scissons goes on to say any nuclear concerns can be submitted at anytime to the Safety Commission which works out of Ottawa.
