Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation (WLON) and the Township of Ignace have been selected as the host communities for the proposed project\, which is located 21 kilometres southeast of the WLON and 43 kilometres northwest of the Town of Ignace\, Ontario along Highway 17. As proposed\, the Deep Geological Repository (DGR) for Canada’s Used Nuclear Fuel Project would provide permanent storage for approximately 5.9 million bundles of used nuclear fuel. The project is expected to span approximately 160 years\, encompassing site preparation\, construction\, operation and closure monitoring. The project assessment is being conducted in collaboration with the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission.
