BWXT plans to manufacture uranium pellets in Peterborough, says emissions from plant are safe
Description
January 6, 2020
An activist group in Peterborough is lobbying against BWXT's application to produce uranium pellets out of the former General Electric building.
Citizens Against Radioactive Neighbourhoods (CARN) says the air and water emissions coming from the BWXT plant pose a significant health risk, especially to Prince of Wales Public School across the street.
But BWXT says otherwise.
Noor Ibrahim reports.
