Deep Geological Repository (DGR) for Canada's Used Nuclear Fuel Project
A Multitude of Deficiencies
- Reference Number
- 413
- Text
First and foremost, the period allowed for comments is too short to make a full review possible. Thus, I would like the opportunity to make additional comments.
An non-comprehensive list of main deficiencies, in no particular order, includes transportation risks, decomposition of waste containers especially with regard to the formation of gas and influence of heat and radioactivity, groundwater impact, monitoring, retrievability, analysis of alternatives to the project, eventual conflicts of interest between policies allowing further production of waste and need to resolve the waste issue, and climate impacts.
As well, an inventory of isotopes and their diverse impacts on health is needed. See for example the attached graphic "Ionizing Radiation", which is available at: https://www.nonuclear.se/en/ionizing-radiation1980gyorgy
That is all for now.
