Quebec: Two billion dollars to extend life of nuclear reactor
Aug 19 2008, GE on CTV News; 5m34s
Since 1978, Quebec has had a moratorium on new nuclear reactors. But now (Aug 2008) the only operating reactor, Gentilly-2, needs $2 billion in repairs to keep going. In effect, it’s like building a new reactor within the shell of the old one. Gordon Edwards is interviewed on CTV News. [The reactor was finally shut down in Dec 2012 without the rebuilding that was previously approved.]
