    CANADA MUST BAN REPROCESSING 
    The nuclear industry refers to extracting plutonium or other specific isotopes from nuclear fuel waste as “reprocessing” or “recycling.” ​It is highly contaminating, practiced in only a few countries, and is linked to nuclear proliferation and nuclear weapons. 
    ​

    There has never been commercial reprocessing in Canada. The limited reprocessing done at the federal government's Chalk River Nuclear Laboratory has left a legacy of nuclear contamination.

    Canada is currently reviewing its radioactive waste policy. The revised policy must include a formal prohibition on nuclear fuel waste reprocessing in Canada.
