Bruce throws hat in the nuclear ring

 


This will now be endless amusement for us, as it competes with Ignace.  I have no idea on the Ignace geology.  When I was doing my heavy research on nuclear waste, I found that any site with exposed granitic bedrock had the horrible problem of 'glacier jacking'.  These were mile-deep near-flat open fractures caused by high glacier water pressure.

If you went below these, then you would get the 'pure stresses' of the Canadian Shield.  Horrible high horizontal stresses that would cause rock-bursts.  A generally bad condition.  Of course, since I never bothered with Ignace, I'm sure it is perfect.

Bruce has the problem of a huge deep basement fault (the Grenville Front).  They are right on the outcrop of the fault, but they have managed to look the other way.  These outcrops damage rock for a long distance away, as shown by the seismic reflection records which they never looked at.  I find that everything is perfect when you have the wonderful blinkers of selective vision.  

Both sites are absolutely wonderful, and the people can enjoy an economic benefit.

ps.  for both places, we should have rom-coms - Love in the Nuclear Waste.
