1 Recent Waste Management Developments in Canada WATEC 5, 2005 June 6-10 Dr. M. Stephens Manager, Systems & Processes Liability Management Unit Contents Recent Developments and Achievements Needs and Current Issues Possible Implications for IAEA 2 page 1
2 Recent Developments and Achievements NWMO recommendation on long-term management of used nuclear fuel OPG Kincardine Project for disposal of utility LILW LLRWMO Port Hope & Port Granby Projects for long-term management of uranium refinery waste AECL decommissioning at its laboratory sites 3 Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) Established in 2002 November Managed by nuclear utilities, funded by used fuel owners (utilities and AECL) Mandate: Evaluate approaches to long-term management of used fuel: Deep geological disposal in the Canadian Shield Storage at nuclear reactor sites Centralized storage, above or below ground Possibly other approaches Recommend an approach to the federal government by 2005 November 15 4 page 2
3 Draft NWMO Recommendation (2005 May) Adaptive Phased Management Containment & isolation in central deep geologic repository in crystalline or sedimentary rock Year 30, at repository site: Underground Research Laboratory starts operations Option: shallow rock cavern starts receiving fuel for interim storage Years 60-90: repository accepting used fuel Continuous monitoring and potential retrievability until decision on closure and postclosure monitoring 5 NWMO APM Schedule 6 page 3
4 NWMO Recommendation Draft recommendation and rationale in Choosing a Way Forward (300 p.) at Final recommendation by 2005 Nov. 15 NWMO will implement approach federal government chooses 7 Ontario Power Generation (OPG) Kincardine Initiative Disposal facility for Low and Intermediate Level Wastes (LILW) Discussions with local community demonstrate acceptance of the concept Formal licensing has yet to begin Hosting Agreement 8 page 4
5 OPG Kincardine Initiative Deep Geologic Repository (DGR) on the 900 ha Bruce Nuclear site ~225 km northwest of Toronto Horizontal emplacement rooms, at a depth of ~660 m in laterally extensive limestone formation, directly overlain by 200 m of shale Low-permeability diffusion-controlled geosphere immediately surrounding the repository will assure long-term isolation of the LILW 9 Kincardine Initiative - Wastes OPG s LILW comes primarily from operating 20 nuclear reactors at Pickering, Bruce and Darlington stations ~5,000-7,000 m³ of new waste is reduced to 2,000-3,000 m³, and stored at the WWMF (at Bruce site) If the 20 reactors operate 40 a, they will generate ~95,000 m 3 (as-stored volume) of LILW decommissioning of the reactors and associated nuclear waste storage facilities will generate ~108,000 m 3 of additional LILW 10 page 5
6 Kincardine Initiative - Facility 11 Kincardine Initiative - Hosting Agreement Financial compensation ($35.7M CDN 2004) to the Municipality of Kincardine and four surrounding municipalities Lump sum payments for achieving specific project milestones, and annual payments to each municipality Payments contingent on municipalities acting reasonably and in good faith during the licencing process Property Value Protection Plan to compensate residents for any depreciation in property value directly resulting from a release from the facility 12 page 6

8 Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Office (LLRWMO) Canada s agent for the cleanup and long-term management of historic low-level radioactive wastes (LLRW) that are a federal responsibility The LLRWMO is also responsible for: establishing user-pay LLRW disposal facilities addressing general public information needs about LLRW analyzing issues associated LLRW, and providing technical advice to the Government of Canada on the latest national and international developments 15 Historic LLRW in Canada Canada is the second-largest country in the world Population: 32,207,113 (July 2003 est.) Land 9,976,140 sq km 5,514 km from east to west, 1/4 of the distance around the world, and 4,634 km from north to south, almost 1/2 of the distance from the pole to the equator.
