Nuclear Waste Management Organization is seeking input on a proposed siting approach for Canada’s 2nd deep geological repository. It will contain intermediate- & non-fuel high-level radioactive waste & maybe used fuel from new nuclear projects. #NukeSky 🔌💡 www.renewcanada.net/nwmo-begins-...

The Nuclear Waste Management Organization and @thetorontozoo.bsky.social today announced a 5-year, $3M+ partnership with to help protect vulnerable species. A big step for #biodiversity and #conservation across Canada.🐢 🦇 ⚛️ #BetterTogether www.nwmo.ca/News/The-NWM...

Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation & Ignace are on the world stage. DG Grossi of @iaeaorg.bsky.social called Canada's leadership on consent-based siting of a deep repository for used nuclear fuel a “model of responsible, community-driven progress.” He’s right. And we have these communities to thank.

Great shout out from @iaeaorg.bsky.social about how Canada's Nuclear Waste Management Organization worked with communities to identify a site for a deep geological repository for used nuclear fuel. Worth a read! 👇 #NukeSky 🔌💡 www.iaea.org/bulletin/wor...

With a site chosen for a repository, Canada’s plan for used #nuclear fuel is driving business opportunities. The latest? The Nuclear Waste Management Organization is looking for a firm to design a Centre of Expertise in Northwest Ontario. #Momentum #NukeSky 🔌💡 www.nwonewswatch.com/local-news/n...

"It's the next step in the process to permanently isolate and contain Canada's used nuclear fuel, and we've teamed up with five great companies to help us make it a reality." ~NWMO spokesperson Craig MacBride www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #NukeSky 💡💡

The momentum continues on Canada's planned deep geological repository for used nuclear fuel! After picking a site in Northestern ON last year, the NWMO has now assembled the companies that will help design & plan the project: WSP, Kiewit, Hatch, Thyssen & Kinectrics. #NukeSky 🔌💡 nwmo.co/4j0d6sD

Good explainer from @wired.com on long-term plans globally to store used nuclear fuel in deep geological repositories.👇 Finland's is just about ready to go, with Sweden, France, Switzerland, Canada and others advancing similar projects. #NukeSky 🔌💡

Fabulous visit in Ignace, Ontario this week - my first since the community was chosen as a host for 🇨🇦’s deep geological repository for used #nuclear fuel. What a privilege to spend quality time in this gorgeous part of our country. #NukeSky #CommunityMatters #sustainability

✅ Voted! #onpoli #OntarioElection

Sweden has started construction on its deep geological repository for used nuclear fuel!⚛️🙌 Like similar projects in other countries (including Canada, where I live), it will ensure future generations don't have the burden of managing waste we created. world-nuclear-news.org/articles/swe...

Nuclear waste travels in durable casks that are built to handle just about anything. These things get put through wild tests - they can take a direct hit from a speeding train and survive being dropped onto spikes from 30 feet up all without breaking. #MemeMonday #NuclearEnergyMemes

“We continue to be both amazed and overwhelmed with the positive interest....this is truly the beginning of the future for our community.” ~Kim Baigrie, Mayor of Ignace, a host community for Canada's future deep geological repository for used nuclear fuel. 👇 www.nwonewswatch.com/local-news/d...

ICYMI: Canada's Nuclear Waste Management Organization selected a site for a deep geological repository for used nuclear fuel -- a huge milestone in protecting our environment & supporting a sustainable future. 🌍🔋 www.innovatingcanada.ca/industry-and...

There is international consensus deep geological repositories are the safest way to store used nuclear fuel for the very long term. In Canada we are doing just that, in a place with both a suitable rock formation and community support to move forward. #NukeSky 🔌💡 www.nwonewswatch.com/local-news/n...

This week 🇨🇦’s NWMO‬⁩ made history, choosing a site for a deep geological repository for used #nuclear fuel. Multiple layers of protection, both engineered & natural, will ensure the used fuel is safely contained & isolated in the repository. #NukeSky 🔌💡 interestingengineering.com/science/cana...

It’s great to see support like this for the Township of Ignace, Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation & @NWMOCanada as preparation begins for the regulatory process for Canada’s used nuclear fuel repository: Northwest MPs support nuclear waste decision 👇👇👇 #NukeSky 🔌💡 www.nwonewswatch.com/local-news/n...

Canada's used nuclear fuel has a home. Earlier today the Nuclear Waste Management Organization's President and CEO announced the Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation-Ignace area as the future site for Canada’s deep geological repository for used nuclear fuel. #NukeSky 🔌💡 youtu.be/gto2CcnEqf0?...

"Through a constructive process, with integrity, accountability & transparency as our guiding principles, this Township learned, educated ourselves & became an integral component of today’s decision by the Nuclear Waste Management Organization." ~ Mayor Kim Baigrie www.ignace.ca/news/townshi...

"WLON views our role as the potential host for Canada's used nuclear fuel as one of the most important responsibilities of our time. We can not ignore this challenge and allow it to become a burden for future generations." ~Chief Clayton Wetelainen, Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation #NukeSky 🔌💡

The Nuclear Waste Management Organization has selected the site for Canada’s deep geological repository for used nuclear fuel in the Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation-Ignace area. A historic step in safely managing used nuclear fuel for generations to come. #NukeSky 🔌💡 www.nwmo.ca/News/The-Nuc...

Many countries are advancing plans for deep geological repositories for used #nuclear fuel. In Japan a major step was completed last week, opening the door to the next phase of study at potential host sites. #NukeSky 🔌💡 www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/11...

This is a shame. Waste is a strength of nuclear power ⚛️. It is safely contained, has never hurt anyone & we know how to keep it safe forever. It’s not a technical issue. But the emotions are real, even when they are based on information that is not. #NukeSky 🔌💡 www.cnn.com/2024/11/25/c...

A good read about why nuclear power is on everybody’s radar (and mostly in a good way).👇 #NukeSky #EnergySky www.cbc.ca/news/science...

The consent-based process being used to site a deep geological repository for spent nuclear fuel is a model for how governments & industries should engage with First Nations & local communities around major infrastructure projects. Local democracy + FN self-determination. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Nuclear waste isn’t as scary as it sounds: ✅ It’s tiny—your lifetime electricity would make about 1 soda can of waste ✅ It’s stored safely—we always know where it is (unlike CO₂ stored in the air) ✅ It’s managed safely now & thanks to #science we know how to keep it safe deep underground forever
