e-1450 (Waste management)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
- The federal government “owns” over 2 million cubic meters of radioactive waste, none of which is securely contained in long-term management facilities;
- A consortium of five multinational corporations has been contracted to operate all federal nuclear sites where this waste is found;
- The International Atomic Energy Agency says the preferred option for managing radioactive waste is to isolate it from the biosphere; and
- The consortium appears to be attempting to maximize its profits by proposing “quick and cheap” disposal options that would not keep radioactive waste isolated from the biosphere.
