Exploring the Fundamental Issues
In this phase, NWMO begins to explore the fundamental issues raised
in its earlier Conversations About Expectations. A number of
activities will be undertaken to provide an information base for
dialogue, to encourage the involvement of interested Canadians, and to
bring expert advice to the process.
NWMO will also begin to develop a preliminary framework for
analyzing and assessing the alternative management approaches. It will
need to reflect the values of Canadians and to address the social,
ethical, environmental, economic and technical implications of decision
making.
Engagement and dialogue activities are planned to solicit input,
advice and direction in the development of all of this material. All
of it will be made available on the website to help facilitate an
informed dialogue.
