Are airplane crashes or terrorist attacks a concern at the Pickering nuclear station?
Yes. The federal government is proposing to build an international airport in Pickering and September 11th revealed that all of Canada’s nuclear stations are vulnerable to a terrorist attack. It is noteworthy that after the September 11th, the Nuclear Insurance Association of Canada refused to provide coverage for potential terrorist incidents at nuclear stations for such things as air plane crashes. The insurance industry has acknowledged and is accounting for the potential for a terrorist attack at Canada’s nuclear stations.
