The Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) was established in 2002 in accordance with the Nuclear Fuel Waste Act to assume responsibility for long-term management of Canada's used nuclear fuel. The selected approach for the long-term management of used fuel is Adaptive Phased Management. Another major project for the NWMO is seeking regulatory approval, on behalf of Ontario Power Generation, for the construction of a Deep Geologic Repository (DGR) for the long-term management of its low and intermediate level waste.

Implementing Adaptive Phased Management

The Government of Canada has selected the NWMO recommendation of Adaptive Phased Management for the long-term care of used nuclear fuel. The NWMO will implement the approach. Our ongoing activities are reported here.
