We initiated the siting process in 2010 with a broad program to provide information, answer questions and build awareness. Awareness-building activities are designed to continue throughout the site selection process.

Learn more about the areas currently involved in the process, as well as areas that are no longer a focus of study.

Information Package

As part of the awareness-building activities in Step 1 (NWMO Initiates the Process), we published an overview brochure, entitled "Moving Forward Together: Overview of Canada's Plan for the Long-Term Management of Used Nuclear Fuel." It was translated into nine Aboriginal languages.
