Lepreau could be another Fukushima....that from Sharon Murphy of the Conservation Council of New Brunswick. Murphy says there's a pattern of ignoring the safety issues because there's so much money to be made...but the risks are impossible to ignore.
She tells CHSJ News Lepreau has many of the same red flags that led to that disaster, and it's especially concerning that the plant has been proven unable to hold up under any sort of seismic event.
Murphy says the Conservation Council is simply using science its attempt to prevent the re-opening of the plant this fall.
