CELA, on behalf of We the Nuclear Free North, submitted comments to the Impact Assessment Agency on the Draft Integrated Tailored Impact Statement Guidelines (“Draft Guidelines”). The forthcoming impact assessment process represents the only meaningful opportunity for the federal government, Indigenous nations, the proponent, the public and the Integrated Review Panel to “look before we leap” on an untested, unproven, and highly controversial proposal to handle, transport and permanently emplace high-level nuclear waste deep underground at the Revell site in northwestern Ontario. This project demands a particularly careful, precautionary, and thoughtful impact assessment because high-level nuclear waste is so dangerous that it must be fully isolated from all living things and the environment for hundreds of thousands of years.
