Golder has supported worldwide efforts
for the safe management of radioactive
waste and has played a significant role
in developing waste management
solutions for Canadian project sites in
Port Hope, Port Granby, Chalk River and
Deloro.
LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT OF USED
NUCLEAR FUEL
The consensus amongst countries that
use nuclear power is that the preferred
long-term management approach for
used nuclear fuel is deep underground
storage, typically 500 to 1,000 m below
surface. Our work with deep geological
environments is extensive, in-depth,
and global, having participated in the
long-term used fuel management
programs for countries around the
world, including Canada, the US,
Sweden, Finland, Hungary, Switzerland,
France, Germany, the UK, South Korea
and Japan.
