CNL Says only Low-Level Radioactive Waste will be Stored at Proposed Disposal Facility

摘要

Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) has submitted a revised draft of the environmental impact statement for the proposed Near Surface Disposal Facility (NSDF). Manager of Regulatory Approval for NSDF, Sandra Faught, says some of the main changes include the site only holding low-level radioactive waste instead of some intermediate radioactive waste that was previously proposed. The site would hold up to a million cubic meters of low-level radioactive waste made up of mostly contaminated soil, demolition debris, clothing and protective materials.
