Moltex wants to build a stable salt reactor that uses a process that recycles existing used nuclear fuel at the Point Lepreau Generating Station site in Saint John.

In a statement on Wednesday, the Nuclear Waste Management Organization said the Elliot Lake and Blind River area between the cities of Thunder Bay and Sault Ste. Marie are out of the running.

The Chief Decommissioning Officer of the Fukushima nuclear plant says they have yet to locate where melted nuclear fuel has gone, five years after the 2011 meltdown.
