Joint Review Panel: Deep Geologic Repository Project

On January 24, 2012, the Honourable Peter Kent, federal Minister of the Environment and Michael Binder, President of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, announced the establishment of a three-member joint panel to review Ontario Power Generation’s proposed project to construct and operate a facility for the long-term management of low and intermediate level radioactive waste in Ontario.

Dr. Stella Swanson was appointed as the Panel chair and Dr. James F. Archibald and Dr. Gunter Muecke were appointed as members. Read their biographies.

The Joint Review Panel is conducting an examination of the environmental effects of the proposed project to meet the requirements of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. The Panel will also obtain the information necessary for the consideration of the licence application under the Nuclear Safety and Control Act to prepare a site and to construct the deep geologic repository facility. Read the joint review panel agreement.
