| GET READY FOR THE CHALLENGE A FEDERAL REVIEW OF THE NWMO'S PROJECT IS STARTING SOON
|
|
The Nuclear Waste Management Organization has a plan to transport then process, bury and abandon all of Canada's high-level nuclear waste at the Revell site in the headwaters of the Wabigoon River and the heart of Treaty 3 territory in northwestern Ontario. For 20 years the NWMO has been describing transportation as part of their "APM" project, but in August they let slip that they are moving to exclude transportation from the impact assessment, which is expected to get underway later this year or in early 2026. The federal review is starting soon. Take action now. |

I am concerned about [insert your top concern]. Thank you." |

In July We the Nuclear Free North produced 3 short "explainer" videos to provide background, context and analysis for the NWMO's false start to the federal review. |
