Integrated Tailored Impact Statement Guidelines Canada’s Used Nuclear Fuel Project

The Town of Kapuskasing recognizes the importance of a thorough and transparent federal review process for Canada’s Used Nuclear Fuel Project and appreciates the opportunity to provide comments as part of the integrated assessment process.

While the proposed Deep Geological Repository is not located within the Town of Kapuskasing, Council has significant concerns regarding the transportation of used nuclear fuel through Northern Ontario communities, particularly along the Highway 11 corridor, and the potential impacts on municipal infrastructure, emergency response capacity, public safety, and regional resiliency.

The Town respectfully requests that the Integrated Tailored Impact Statement Guidelines require the proponent to provide clear, measurable, and enforceable commitments.
