Lack of accountability

The Deep Geological Repository proposed for Canada's Used Nucleal Fuel Project lacks scientific, legal and process accountability and credibility.

1. Science: No country has mastered safe and accountable nuclear waste management. The long-term safety of deep repositories for high-level nuclear waste cannot be promised, However, science is certain of eventual leakage of radioactivity and of groundwater contamination affecting living cells and human and environmental health for future generations.  
2. Law: It violates the UNDRIP- Act. The limited quick consultations do not demonstrate the obligatory full information and free prior informed consent by the local First Nations.
3. Process: Impact versus Risk: Impact Assessments evaluate effects after the fact.  An evidence-based, transparent and rigorous Risk Assessment process involving all affected federal departments and agencies can avoid wrong decisions before fatefully dangerous actions are taken and prevent lengthy and expensive court battles
