Request a detailed integration plan of the short-term microseismic data (collected since 2021) with long-term paleoseismological evidence to validate the claim of stability.
Strategic Rationale
"The Proponent relies on a very short window of microseismic monitoring (since 2021) to characterize a site intended for geological isolation over millions of years. While the Canadian Shield is generally stable, the baseline data must be robust enough to rule out active local faults that short-term monitoring might miss. Ensuring this data is rigorously cross-referenced with geological history is vital for the long-term safety confidence of the community and ensures that the 'million-year' safety case is built on more than just a few years of sensor data."
Source Context
Understanding the Impacts of Nuclear Waste on our Community
This digital archive houses the public comments submitted to the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada regarding Project 88774: The Nuclear Waste Management Organization Deep Geological Repository (DGR) for Canada's Used Nuclear Fuel Project. The impact assessment is led jointly by the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. This archive preserves community perspectives, concerns, and observations shared during the assessment process, particularly in relation to Melgund Township, Northwestern Ontario and the communities of Dyment and Borups Corners who are the closest and most impacted of all in the process.
