NAYGN Webinar – Long Term Storage of Nuclear Waste: Part One
Webinar: Join us for Long Term Storage of Nuclear Waste: Part One, featuring Dakota Kochie, Director of Government and External Relations at the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO).
The NWMO is responsible for the safe, long-term management of Canada’s used nuclear fuel in a manner that protects people and the environment for generations to come.
This session will provide a high-level introduction to deep geological repositories (DGRs), site selection and community partnership, safety and stewardship considerations, and Canada’s long-term waste management approach. The discussion will be especially valuable for members who want to strengthen their understanding of waste policy, repository concepts, and international perspectives on long-term storage.
This webinar supports NAYGN’s mission by building technical literacy, strengthening informed dialogue, and equipping young professionals to confidently engage in conversations about nuclear sustainability and public trust.
The presentation will be approximately 30 minutes, followed by Q&A.
