The Nuclear Waste Management Organization intends to transport, process, bury and abandon all of Canada’s high-level nuclear fuel waste at the Revell site in northwestern Ontario. The Revell site is in the heart of Treaty 3 territory and at the height of land for the Wabigoon and Rainy River watersheds. NWMO’s plan is at a conceptual level; there is no operating deep geological repository for high-level nuclear waste anywhere in the world.

Comment by May 10 on draft Guidelines for NWMO’s nuclear waste project
The Nuclear Waste Management Organization’s massive project to transport and bury all of Canada’s high-level nuclear fuel waste in northwestern Ontario has moved to the next stage of a federal review with April 10th’s launch of a second 30-day comment period – this one on what information must be included in the multi-year review process and in the NWMO’s Impact Statement.
From April 10 to May 10 the Impact Assessment Agency is inviting comments from the public and Indigenous people on draft guidelines (there is also a summary version) and a public participation plan and Indigenous Engagement and Partnership Plan. The purpose of Guidelines is to set out what information the Nuclear Waste Management Organization must provide in their Impact Statement and supporting documents, which will form the basis of the impact assessment process and public hearing.
