100 Groups Demand Transparency in Canada’s Review of
Radioactive Waste Policy and Waste Management Strategies
Radioactive Waste Policy and Waste Management Strategies
February 2021 - Over 100 public interest and community groups signed on to a joint letter setting out their expectations for a review of Canada's Radioactive Waste Policy launched by Natural Resources Canada last November. Top on their list: the review must be transparent, and independent of the nuclear industry.

About Nuclear Waste in Canada
Nuclear waste is generated at every stage of the nuclear fuel chain. Low-level radioactive wastes are generated during the mining, milling and refining of uranium, and in the fabrication of uranium fuel bundles for nuclear power production. Low, intermediate and high level radioactive wastes are generated through the production of electricity using nuclear reactors. "Intermediate" level radioactive waste is highly radioactive, but in Canada only the irradiated fuel - also called nuclear fuel waste - is called "high level" waste. There are currently proposals by the nuclear industry for deep geological repositories for low and intermediate level radioactive wastes and for high level nuclear fuel waste.
Nuclear Waste Watch's Position Statement summarizes our concerns and key issues, and our list of Participating Organizations tells you who we are.
