Protecting Fresh Water Resources during a Large-scale Low-Level Radioactive Waste Clean-up Project with Best Available Technology
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Port Hope Area Initiative involves the development of two new long-term waste management facilities at separate Ontario sites, currently containing low-level radioactive waste materials. Water treatment for contaminant removal has been an integral operating component at these sites since the late 1970s. This paper describes a staged development strategy for ensuring that Best Available Technology options will be considered during the specification of the water treatment requirements for these two projects. The objective behind this strategy is to enable the projects to make a positive contribution to the preservation of a healthy, prosperous and sustainable Great Lakes Basin ecosystem.
