Concerned Citizens of Renfrew County and Area (CCRCA) is a non-governmental, volunteer organization that has been working for the clean-up and prevention of radioactive pollution from the nuclear industry in the Ottawa Valley for 40+ years. Our current focus is nuclear waste, in particular the proposed giant mound for one million cubic meters of radioactive waste at Chalk River, Ontario and the proposed “entombment” of the Nuclear Power Demonstration reactor at Rolphton, Ontario. Both of these proposed nuclear waste disposal projects risk contaminating the Ottawa River, a drinking water source for millions of Canadians. Check out our popular one-page fact sheets  here

This was always called God’s country and for all the generations that have been here it is God’s country. It doesn’t sound like God’s country now – it sounds like the devil’s mound and that is what is going to be up there. (preface to last question of the day to CNL representatives at Old Fort William, July 15, 2017 see transcript here)

“It appears that annual expenditures for AECL more than doubled to almost one billion dollars after privatization. We are asking the Minister of Natural Resources to account for this increase”.
