Modernizing Canada's Radioactive Waste Policy: Comments and Ideas Submitted

In November 2020, the Minister of Natural Resources Canada launched an inclusive engagement process to modernize Canada’s policy for the management of radioactive waste. Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) officials led the six-month engagement process with the support of other federal government departments with responsibilities for the management of radioactive waste. Our goal is to inform a modernized policy that continues to reflect international practices in the area of radioactive waste management, the best available science, and the values and principles of Canadians and Indigenous Peoples. Interested individuals and groups submitted their comments and ideas about radioactive waste management in Canada, which are captured in this document.
