Home / Nuclear Waste Management

Nuclear Waste Management

This category covers nuclear energy news, nuclear power developments, radioactive waste reporting, nuclear waste management, nuclear waste disposal, and nuclear waste storage in Canada. It includes coverage of policy, regulation, infrastructure planning, environmental assessment, and industry activity related to nuclear energy and used nuclear fuel. It also follows updates on the Deep Geological Repository (DGR) for Canada’s Used Nuclear Fuel Project in neighbouring Revell Township, including regulatory processes, technical developments, and public consultation. Coverage includes nuclear energy news affecting communities in Northwestern Ontario, including those in and around Melgund Township (the closest communities to the DGR site), with attention to environmental monitoring, transportation planning, and long-term management of radioactive waste.

The lower level of the Dyment Recreation Hall was busy on October 28 with engaging community workshops on Alternative Means for Canada's Deep Geological Repository for Used Nuclear Fuel.

ART BORUPS CORNERS SOCIETY

Art Borups Corners is a non-profit arts incubator based in Melgund Township, Northwestern Ontario. We bring artists, youth, and local residents together through hands-on creative projects, workshops, and storytelling rooted in everyday life in the North. Our focus is on making space for people to try things, share skills, and build confidence through art that grows out of where they live.


We’re also a place for testing ideas and working across different ways of making — from land-based practice to digital work and everything in between. Much of what we do happens through partnerships and shared projects, connecting local creative work with wider conversations while keeping things grounded, practical, and community-led.
