Request a quantitative definition of the "small amount" of on-site energy production and specific identification of the fuel sources and technologies intended for standby power generation.
Strategic Rationale
"The Proponent's submission relies on vague qualifiers to describe on-site power generation. For Melgund residents, the specific technology (e.g., diesel generators) directly impacts local air quality and noise levels. Defining the exact megawatt capacity and fuel type is necessary to establish a baseline for local atmospheric monitoring and to ensure the "best available technologies" claim is verifiable rather than aspirational. This clarification allows the community to assess the true environmental burden on the immediate airshed."

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.
