Verbatim Excerpts From:<\/small><\/span><\/h2>\n
Transport Canada Review of
\nTwo Emergency Response Assistance Plans
\nProposed by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited
\nfor the Importation of up to Six Shipments of
\nTest Samples of MOX Fuel<\/h5>\n

Annex B:<\/b><\/span>Summary of public comments
\nrelating directly to the proposed
\nemergency response assistance plans.<\/p>\n

H. Safety of MOX Fuel<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

H.2<\/b>
\n[ Public comment, paraphrased by Transport Canada\u00a0]
\nThis material is very carcinogenic. Only need to inhale 27 micrograms of plutonium dust to cause lung cancer in a human adult.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

[\u00a0Response to public comment by Transport Canada\u00a0]
\nBecause it has the potential for damage if inhaled, the material will not be flown and will be contained in a Type B container to ensure there is no rupture, crushing and subsequent release of any dust.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

H.6<\/b>
\n[\u00a0Public comment, paraphrased by Transport Canada\u00a0]
\nThe population would be exposed if plutonium became airborne. Public health and welfare of major concern.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\u00a0Response to public comment by Transport Canada\u00a0]
\nBecause it has the potential for damage if inhaled, the material will not be flown and will be contained in a Type B container to ensure there is no rupture, crushing and subsequent release of any dust.<\/span><\/p>\n

H.9<\/b>
\n[\u00a0Public comment, paraphrased by Transport Canada\u00a0]
\nMOX fuel is not a regular dangerous good. Accident consequences are far reaching.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\u00a0Response to public comment by Transport Canada\u00a0]
\nA very severe and highly unlikely accident could result in the release of a heavy dust. Because it has the potential for damage if inhaled, the material will not be flown and will be contained in a Type B container to ensure that there is no rupture, crushing and subsequent release of any dust.<\/span><\/p>\n

I. Mode of Transport<\/b>
\nI.1<\/b>
\n[\u00a0Public comment, paraphrased by Transport Canada\u00a0]
\nThe Government could change air regulations. Could fly over less populated areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\u00a0Response to public comment by Transport Canada\u00a0]
\nNot until there were a container deemed safe enough to survive all credible airplane accidents.<\/span><\/p>\n

I.2<\/b>
\n[\u00a0Public comment, paraphrased by Transport Canada\u00a0]
\nNotes that the United States do not want to fly the shipment.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\u00a0Response to public comment by Transport Canada\u00a0]
\nIt is presently against both Canadian and United States law to fly the MOX test samples.<\/span><\/p>\n
