I always terminate my egc on the ground buss in a main panel that has a bonded neutral and ground buss. The guestion is: can the egc terminate on the bonded neutral buss ?

If the panel contains the main or system bonding jumper, you can connect the EGC to the neural bus.

Yes, but I, like you keep them separate. The neutral however may not be allowed to terminate on the ground bar if the only connection is thru the can.
