Wendy O'Connor is a Canadian, known for voicing an opinion over measures to counter the Covid 19 virus, and suggested measures to store the waste from Nuclear reactors.[1]

In April of 2020 the CBC News quoted O'Connor asserting that one positive consequence over the concern over the Covid 19 virus is that it increased interest among the general public in growing their own food, in their own gardens.[1]

In September of 2022 the Chronicle Journal published an opinion by O'Connor on the disposal of nuclear waste.[2] She asserted that the waste from proposed small reactors would be more dangerous than the waste from Canada's existing CANDU reactors.
