Impact assessment concerns

 I have many concerns about the NWMO's deep geological repository project, the NWMO’s method of selecting the site, and the unprecedented nature of the project.  A full description of the proposed repository outside of Ignace must be presented in detail..  including all project components (transportation, processing, DGR design and construction, placement of waste underground, monitoring, releases to air and water from all operations, retrievability of the wastes, performance thresholds).   The impacts of long distance transportation must be accessed thoroughly, as well as a tranparent assessment of radiation on different kinds of bodies - not a standardized or ideal body, particular attention must be on the impacts on children and women, as life-carriers.  Economic, social, and enviormental impacts on Indigenous Peoples and bodies must be accessed. Free, prior and informed consent must be assessed by and with all First Nations, through treaty areas where the waste will be transported.   The draft guidelines do not require enough information about the NWMO's project.  There isn't enough information on transportation.  There needs to be more details about the fuel packaging plant and the repository itself.
