Week One
Wednesday February 2nd, 7 pm EST REGISTER
Canada Update 2022: Nuclear Waste & the NWMO An overview and update on the Nuclear Waste Management Organization’s efforts to site a deep geological repository for high level nuclear fuel waste. The webinar will update on the NWMO program and activities as the company zeros in on the two municipalities – South Bruce and Ignace – that remain engaged in the NWMO’s siting process. The focus will be on the NWMO’s program and associated developments in Canada’s radioactive waste policy, regulation and nuclear expansions. REGISTER
| Week Two Wednesday, February 9th @ 7 pm REGISTER Informed and Unwilling: Close Up on NWMO Candidate Sites A closer look at the two areas still under investigation by the Nuclear Waste Management Organization’s as potential burial sites for all of Canada’s high level waste. Panelists will discuss community views and experience. |
| Week Three Wednesday, February 16th @ 7 pm REGISTER Radioactive Waste: The Next Generation This webinar will look ahead to potential new challenges in radioactive waste management, including the prospect of new waste types from reprocessing and from so-called “Small Modular Reactors”, and related proliferation risks. |
| Week Four Wednesday, February 23 @ 7 pm EST REGISTER Hot Potatoes: Repackaging Radioactive Wastes The NWMO’s plan to bury all of Canada’s high level radioactive waste in a central location will require that the wastes be transferred at least twice: once at the reactor station and then again when it reaches the (still hypothetical) location of the deep geological repository. |
