Deep Geological Repository (DGR) for Canada's Used Nuclear Fuel Project
Do NOT proceed
- Reference Number
- 923
- Text
The risks of impact on environment and life (including human) far out weigh the potential benefits. Do NOT proceed.
Develop non-nuclear technologies for our energy requirements.
Alternatives to the project (e.g. continued but improved and more secure long-term storage at the reactor stations) must be included and alternative means of carrying out project component activities must be comprehensive and detailed.
Long-distance transportation must be fully examined, including related exposures to radioactivity, the design and safety testing of the transportation containers, emergency response, support for First Responders, route selection, and notifications to local authorities.
The long-term safety and performance of the DGR / multiple-barrier “concept” must be part of impact assessment, not put off to far-future license applications; the “safety case” must be part of this Impact Assessment Review.
The examination of social factors must include psychological and emotional impacts of the project, including those related to social division and to the methods of seeking consent for the project, including the consent of communities along the transportation route and in proximity to and downstream from the Revell site and the Free, Prior and Informed Consent of Indigenous people.
