Nuclear Waste Online 2023 | Session 2

Join this session to learn from community members first hand about their experiences living next door or downstream from a nuclear facility.

Panelists will describe the realities for residents dealing with nuclear facilities in their midst, such as the lack of certainty with both the licensee and the regulator and human health and environmental concerns, and discuss the ability of the public to affect operations and license conditions.

Speakers:

Faye Moore, Port Hope Community Health Concerns Committee (Cameco, CNL, Port Hope)
Ole Hendrickson, Concerned Citizens of Renfrew County and Area (CNL, AECL, Chalk River)

Week 1 - Canada Update 2023: Nuclear Waste & the NWMO
An overview and update on the Nuclear Waste Management

Week 3 – International Update: speakers provide updates from other countries exploring or pursuing deep geological repositories for nuclear waste, and learn why the NWMO’s claim of an “international consensus” about nuclear waste burial is a consensus of the nuclear club and their supporters, while opposition persists in response to actual industry burial plans.
