Christmas Light
’Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house
No electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged by the chimney with care
With the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

Projections have been made regarding the quantities of spent fuel arising from reactors in Canada. It is concluded that for at least 75 years the waste will be manageable and the storage risk is acceptably small. Conceptual designs of several fuel storage facilities have been completed and fuel storage costs were estimated. These are in the region of 0.1 mil/kWh for all storage schemes studied. A choice of the specific interim storage facility to be used has not yet been made. However, it is believed that any of the systems described would be acceptable.
