Ontario Hydro's Options for Long Term Management of Radioactive Wastes
Main Article Content
Abstract
Various long term management options available to Ontario Hydro for its radioactive wastes from the nuclear generation program are discussed. Among these options, Ontario Hydro prefers at this time continue d storage of its wastes in enhanced storage systems at the Bruce Nuclear Power Development until institutional or planning
considerations necessitate introduction of a disposal system. Studies are also in progress to investigate the role of an integrated low level waste disposal capability at the national level, with the Federal Low Level Radioactive Waste Management Office (LLRWMO), AECL and other producers of radioactive waste materials. In the
meantime , continued storage of wastes is safe, generally economic and will ultimately reduce the amount of wastes that need disposal, because of radioactive decay during storage.
