Request the index and content of the 'Science and Environment' papers commissioned in Phase 1 to determine if they utilized local site-specific data or generic geological models.
Strategic Rationale
"The Proponent's submission claims to have built an 'information foundation' using approximately 70 specialist papers, including those on 'Science and Environment.' It is critical to determine if these early papers were based on the specific granite and muskeg conditions of the Revell site or if they relied on generic environmental assumptions. If the foundation of the environmental assessment is based on generic models rather than local field data, the subsequent predictions regarding water quality and containment safety may be inaccurate. This review is an opportunity to ensure the baseline data reflects the actual local environment."
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.
