WATCH WEBINAR #4:
CHALLENGING NWMO'S CLAIM OF AN “INTERNATIONAL CONSENSUS” THAT DGRS ARE THE PREFERRED AND ACCEPTED OPTION FOR THE STORAGE OF NUCLEAR WASTE.
This fourth webinar in the Protect Our Waterways series will look at international experience with proposed deep geological repositories, challenging the NWMO claim of an “international consensus” that DGRs are the preferred and accepted option. Join Panelists from Sweden and the U.S. who share their insights and observations about the Swedish and U.S. national programs for deep geological repositories, including a status report on their countries efforts to site, design and bring into operation a DGR for nuclear fuel waste, and analysis of related technical and social issues.
Spoiler alert: there is no deep geological repository for high level nuclear fuel waste
