International Visitors Tour Learn More Centre in Ripley

Ricardo Gerdingh from the Huron-Kinloss Nuclear Waste Community Advisory Committee planned a visit to the Ripley Learn More Centre as part of the itinerary for his recent guests from Scotland and Mexico.

Ricardo Gerdingh recently hosted his sister, Carmen Gerdingh, from Mexico City, and his nephew, Alfredo Caponnetto, from Edinburgh, Scotland, at his home in Point Clark. As a member of the Huron-Kinloss Nuclear Waste Community Advisory Committee, Ricardo has a special interest in Canada’s plan for the safe, long-term management of used nuclear fuel so he brought his relatives to the Learn More Centre in Ripley for a briefing about the project. Both Carmen and Alfredo found the briefing very informative and were especially interested in the safety aspects of the repository as well as the progress of other countries who need to manage their used nuclear fuel.
