They are back!! NWMO is conducting another round of "education"
The Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) is conducting another round of comprehensive studies for the long-term management of Used Nuclear Fuel in Canada.
The large ad in today's Thunder Bay Chronicle-Journal asks, "How should Canada manage its used nuclear fuel in the future?" Now it has become Canada's problem. At least twenty-five years ago when they first were trying to get a town in Northern Ontario to consider taking their waste, the corporations that produced this deadly by-product accepted responsibility for needing to deal with it. Now organizations, like the Assembly of First Nations, are being funded to "educate" their members about this issue that is now being presented as "our problem".
The NWMO is hosting "Information and Discussion Sessions" in Thunder Bay, Kenora and Timmins this month where the public is invited. Registration is required for the follow up "discussion sessions". Click here to see the calendar of sessions
Everyone is invited to provide your views about how this waste material should be handled. One option that keeps being presented is to bury it in the Canadian Shield requiring complex transportation and disposal processes.
