Canada’s Impact Assessment Agency is currently conducting
an assessment of the Deep Geologic Repository (DGR) project
proposed by the industry-owned Nuclear Waste Management
Organization (NWMO) for burying all of Canada’s high-level
radioactive waste (irradiated nuclear fuel) at a distant location in
Ontario, north of Lake Superior. A nearby town is Ignace, with
a population of about 1200, and one of the nearby Indigenous
communities is the Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation (WLON)
with a comparable population size.
