Canada Update 2023: Nuclear Waste & the NWMO

Week One | Thursday February 9th @ 7 pm EST
Canada Update 2023: Nuclear Waste & the NWMO

An overview and update on the Nuclear Waste Management Organization's efforts to site a deep geological repository for all of Canada’s high level nuclear fuel waste.

In addition to hearing from grassroots groups in each of the regions under investigation, the webinar will provide an update on the NWMO program and activities as the company zeros in on the two municipalities that remain engaged in the NWMO campaign to site a deep geological repository, including their conceptual plans for transportation, nuclear fuel waste transfers, and the deep geological repository itself.

Speakers:
• Brennain Lloyd, Northwatch, NWMO’s programs and conceptual plans
• Wendy O’Connor, We the Nuclear Free North, NWMO investigations in Northwestern Ontario
• Bill Noll, Protect Our Waterways – No Nuclear Waste, NWMO investigations in Southwestern Ontario

Join us for our eleventh annual webinar series about nuclear waste in Canada.

Each year, this series explores important topics about nuclear waste in Canada with a focus on the generation, transportation and proposed burial of highly radioactive nuclear fuel waste. For details please visit KnowNuclearWaste.ca or Northwatch.org.

Week 2 – Nuclear Neighbours: community members share their experiences living next door or downstream from a nuclear facility

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.

Week 4 –Plutonium: How Nuclear Power's Dream Fuel Became a Nightmare
