The free online event will bring people together from across Canada to share their views on the industry and should inform the development of a strategy for long term management for radioactive waste in Canada.
There is a deep geological repository for radioactive waste proposed for 1200 acres of former farmland north of Teeswaster. The waste would be buried 500 meters under the ground if approved.
This is 1 of the two sites proposed for the purpose; the other is in Ignace in Norther Ontario.
The final site is to be selected no later than 2023.
