TORONTO, July 4, 2023 /CNW/ - The Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) has submitted recommendations for an Integrated Strategy for Radioactive Waste to Canada's Minister of Natural Resources for consideration.

Key Points: 
  • TORONTO, July 4, 2023 /CNW/ - The Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) has submitted recommendations for an Integrated Strategy for Radioactive Waste to Canada's Minister of Natural Resources for consideration.
  • While the majority of Canada's radioactive waste has long-term disposal plans, there are gaps – particularly with some low-, intermediate- and non-fuel, high-level wastes.
  • The Strategy recommends approaches to address the gaps identified in waste disposal planning for all of Canada's radioactive waste from electricity generation and the production of medical isotopes.
  • Low-level waste - It is recommended that low-level waste be disposed of in multiple, near-surface disposal facilities, managed by waste generators and waste owners.
