<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 28, 2011) The Canadian company that wants to ship radioactive waste through the St. Lawrence Seaway has put the project on hold while it schedules talks with Mohawk and other native groups in Canada.The project, first proposed by Bruce Power last year, has sparked controversy on both sides of the border. The project has also sparked new questions about other kinds of hazardous cargos that are passing through the locks and channels of the St. Lawrence River.  Brian Mann has our story.

<title>Japan crisis could derail North Country&apos;s nuclear dreams</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17307/20110315/japan-crisis-could-derail-north-country-apos-s-nuclear-dreams</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 15, 2011) As we’ve been hearing through the morning, the nuclear crisis in Japan continues to spiral out of control.  Until this week, that country’s safety record has been cited by nuclear power advocates who want to build more plants here in upstate New York.  Many local leaders say they still think a nuclear plant could safely boost the region’s economy.  And New York Senator Chuck Schumer, speaking on “Meet the Press,” said on Sunday that the unfolding catastrophe hasn’t changed his mind about nuclear power. &quot;The bottom line is that we do have to free ourselves...from foreign oil in the other half of the globe,&quot; Schumer said.&quot;So I&apos;m still willing to look at nuclear.  As I&apos;ve always said, it has to be done safely and carefully.&quot;But supporters of nuclear power acknowledge that the disaster in Japan will make it far more difficult to gain approval for new projects in New York state any time soon.  Brian Mann has our special report.
