The point is that it does not matter if they are diluted. If you ingest, swallow, breathe in radioactive particles, they damage your body at a cellular level until they manifest as illness or DNA mutations in the next generations.
Alert! Alert! Warrior up! Time to go to the comment section and speak up ... tell the truth. One truth is that radioactive particles can not be diluted ... they are individual atoms that are not capable of going into solution. They can be spread around but can not be diluted and made safe. Ingest a single particle of a radioactive nuclide and it remains in your body doing it's damage to your cells ability to divide without becoming a cancer or being genetically damaged. Some of the damaged if done to your reproductive system CAN be passed to your descendants for eternity. Protect the seven generations and speak up PLEASE.
Lake Huron has more than four trillion cubic metres of water, and adds another 42 billion cubic metres a year from rainfall. An expert group says that is enough to greatly dilute any radiation-bearing water that might leak from a proposed nuclear waste site on the shore.

People are not dumb, but the Nuclear industry thinks we are just like them ~DUMB!
The only thing that is diluted here is the thinking of the people who plan on doing this.
These particles do not dilute. They scatter then build up and up
One particle gets into a persons lung and a few years later, cancer.
Nuclear power should have never been allowed in the present way it is implemented.
It is not safe.
Power can be generated in many ways but the one method that should be developed is energy drawn from our own planet.
It is a dynamo and has trillions of watts just sitting in the atmosphere waiting to be tapped into.
As far the technology to do that the patent was created by Tesla to give the world 100% free energy. JP Morgan bought the patent and hid it.
He also set up a campaign to discredit Tesla. The smartest man who ever lived.
Now we get to pay, pay and pay some more for energy that is created with very non efficient methods.
Water itself is an excellent method of creating energy. The by product of splitting the oxygen and hydrogen and recombining them is water.
Energy generation in its present form is meant to enslave the people of the world.
Corporations are not going to develop a system that is not going to create profit for them. The corporate world must be changed. We are not sheep to be farmed. To them that is all we are.
Time for change. Time to save our planet, if it is not too late already
Tesla's patents must be brought forward and into practice.
The corporations that have these patents must not be allowed to hide them.
If they wish to keep doing that then we must ban that corporation. They are not citizens. They are just companies with no right to keep us in slavery

I can't believe what I am reading here.
How can ANYBODY be so stupid as to even contemplate an NUCLEAR WASTE SITE anywhere near potable water in the first place.
Leaking is an given, unless it is buried in SOLID Rock and this area is NOT solid and way to close to the water.
Think about the ENVIRONMENT, FISH AND HUMAN LIFE, BEFORE YOU PUT ANYTHING THIS DANGEROUS THERE >>> IDIOTS <<<!

Oh really ............. the only kind of evolution I see is that man will eventually poison himself and everything off the planet...... obviously some people can't look at the reality of the situation and want to argue about bananas as a reason for justifying the unbridled use and storage of source. Corporate greed and well placed """"lobbiests""""" make light of the situation and infect and pollute the minds of the weak and ignorant apathetic minds who are so poor they can't even afford to pay attention!
We've seen the reality of how governments have evolved in there policies as to the protection of natural habitat........ they've removed all legislation so that commerce and industry will prevail. They won't be happy until they've destroyed and sucked every last ounce of gold and oil out of the ground and polluted every last drop of water.
From what I can see man's record speaks for itself. The more man evolves the more he pollutes........... I mean the last time I looked the oceans, rivers, lakes, lands and streams were a massive seething roiling wasteland of garbage....... plastic's fill the bellies of fish and birds while we destroy their habitat! And guess what we still have people preaching the virtues of revolutionary evolutionary traits of moral industrialism and use "bananas" for their reasoning??? Really??

The other option is to shut down all nuclear power tomorrow.. Over 1/2 of Ontario will instantly be in a black out.. and stay that way for the rest of life as we know it.. our society cannot survive without electricity. I by no means think that in the future nuclear will have anywhere near the role it has right now.. but right now it is a necessity. There is evidence of it everywhere especially after this freezing cold winter.. if we didn't have nuclear millions of people would have froze to death, and there were stories in the news all of the time about hydro one and other companies cutting off peoples electricity due to not paying. Municipalities are added electricity to their lists of "essential necessities". The reactor needs fuel, and the used fuel and other additional waste needs to be stored somewhere.

And the articles beginning...
The “immense” waters of the Great Lakes will greatly dilute any radiation-bearing water that might leak from a proposed nuclear waste site on Lake Huron, says an expert group.
Fast-flowing surface water would also dilute leaking radiation, should the site be located in the ancient rock of the Canadian Shield, the group says.
The four-member group has filed a report with the federal panel examining Ontario Power Generation’s proposal to bury low- and intermediate-level nuclear waste in a limestone formation 680 metres below the surface, on the shore of Lake Huron.
The federal panel asked the expert group to compare whether it would be better to inter the waste at the Bruce site, or in ancient granite formations in the Canadian Shield.
The question of leakage from the site has heated up with the recent release of radiationfrom a nuclear waste site in New Mexico, the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, or WIPP.
The WIPP release does not appear to be related to water leakage — it followed an underground vehicle fire in February — but the fact that radiation had escaped at all prompted the federal panel to schedule additional hearings for the Bruce project.
At the WIPP site in New Mexico, work teams have re-entered the underground area, but are advancing in stages. They haven’t yet reached the area where the leak originated, and may not get there for days or weeks.
WIPP officials have drawn up an 11-stage scheme for drafting up a plan to re-open the site, and are only at the fourth stage.
At the Bruce site, the federal panel has been asking what happens if underground water is contaminated by radiation, and then leaks from the site.
The expert group’s report says that wherever the site is developed, any leaking water it will be significantly diluted.
The group says it’s possible that as much as 1,000 cubic metres a year of water contaminated with radiation might leak out of a site – although it rates the likelihood as “highly improbable.” (A thousand cubic meters is equal to a cube measuring 10 metres in each dimension.)
That’s a very small amount, the group says, given that the annual rainfall into Lake Huron is 42 billion cubic metres a year.
And the volume of water already in the lake is 100 times more than the rainfall, or more than four trillion cubic metres.
As for a waste site in Canadian Shield granite, any leakage would flow into active streams and marshlands
“Hence, the volumes of the bodies of water available for dilution at the surface are either immense (Great Lakes) or actively flowing…so the dilution capacity is significant,” the experts conclude.
The dilution capacity for a site at the Bruce or in the Canadian Shield, the experts conclude, are “similar.”
But other characteristics of the two sites are not.
