Like 🇨🇦, #DeepGeologicalRepository for the long-term management of #UsedNuclearFuel is consistent with best practices around the world. For example, Sweden recently began constructing a final storage facility for its used nuclear fuel. Learn more nwmo.co/42kPCJZ
Canada's plan to safely manage #UsedNuclearFuel in a #DeepGeologicalRepository over the long-term is consistent with international best practice and represents more than 30 years of research, development and demonstration of technologies and techniques.
Our President & CEO, Laurie Swami, presented at the Sixth International Conference on Geological Repositories #ICGR in Busan, Korea. She shared insights about Canada’s experience as we work towards the long-term management of used nuclear fuel in a #DeepGeologicalRepository.
(1/2) Based on the results of several years of technical studies, our team of scientists and engineers is confident that the proposed #DeepGeologicalRepository to store Canada’s #UsedNuclearFuel will have no impact on the Great Lakes.
In the #DeepGeologicalRepository, a series of engineered and natural barriers will work together to contain and isolate used nuclear fuel to protect people and the environment for generations to come. Read more in our Triennial Report: nwmo.co/3AhfFm3
#DidYouKnow there are several areas where natural radioactivity has been contained for millions of years. These areas provide strong support for the containment of used nuclear fuel in a #DeepGeologicalRepository under similar conditions.
Based on the results of several years of technical studies, the NWMO is confident that a #DeepGeologicalRepository can be constructed at either potential site to safely and responsibly manage Canada’s #UsedNuclearFuel for the long-term. Learn more: nwmo.co/3mWDkF4
While Canada’s #UsedNuclearFuel is currently safely contained and isolated in interim storage, the current approach isn’t a permanent solution. A #DeepGeologicalRepository will protect people and the environment for generations to come. nwmo.co/2i82HT3
