Over the past decade, Canada has been implementing an ‘Adaptive Phased Management’ approach to handling its radioactive waste, involving interim storage at reactor sites and eventual final disposal in a centralised, deep geological repository. The process is described as a flexible step-by-step, phased approach supported by public engagement and scientific research at each interval along the way. Its timeline for implementation is long. From identifying a willing host community through to the construction, monitoring and eventual closure of the repository, the process will span generations, taking potentially upwards of 140 years or more to fully implement.
