Canada’s Nuclear Waste Management Organisation (NWMO) has published new research – the 2023 Confidence in Safety reports – on the two potential sites under consideration to host a deep geological repository (DGR) for used nuclear fuel. NWMO says the reports reinforce confidence in safety of both sites, building on the previous 2022 Confidence in Safety reports. They support the conclusion that the NWMO is confident a DGR can be constructed at either site to safely and responsibly manage Canada’s used nuclear fuel for the long term.
