PREFACE, from Dr Gordon Edwards:
Friends and Colleagues –
The Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO), representing Canada’s nuclear waste producers, is mandated by the federal government to find a “willing host community” to accept the burial of all of Canada’s high level radioactive waste (used nuclear fuel) in a Deep Geological Repository (DGR).
All but 2 of the original 22 candidate sites (from 12 years ago) have been dropped off the list. NWMO hopes that one of the two remaining candidates will be willing to take the last step in the next few months.

This talk by Gordon Edwards is one of several intended for residents of the northernmost candidate site, the Revell Lake site, between the towns of Ignace and Dryden, in the heart of Treaty 3 Territory of the Anishinabek Nation.
Date of presentation: September 23, 2024.
