Independent Technical Review Group
The NWMO has established an Independent Technical Review Group (ITRG) in 2008. The ITRG, initially comprised of four independent technical specialists, will submit regular impartial reports on the NWMO's technical program.
The mandate of the ITRG is to inform the NWMO Board of Directors whether the NWMO technical program is based on appropriate scientific and technical approaches and methodologies; is consistent with international practices; would broaden and advance NWMO's technical knowledge to adequately support implementation of Adaptive Phased Management; and has sufficient technical resources to achieve its mission.
The ITRG members are from Canada, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. They are internationally recognized specialists in their fields and have significant experience in the technologies associated with the implementation of nuclear waste geologic repository projects.
