In 1985, Canadian sheep farmer Eugene Bourgeois fell into a hydrogen sulphide cloud from an Ontario Hydro reactor. In the citizens’ organization “Inverhuron and District Ratepayers Association (IDRA)” he found comrade-in-arms and trained them as experts in hydrogen sulphide. Among other things, he found that 750,000 fuel rods should be stored above ground for at least 90 years.
