Nuclear Waste Management Organization

The Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) is a group responsible for safely handling and storing used nuclear fuel from power plants. Their goal is to protect people and the environment by finding long-term solutions, such as secure storage sites deep underground. They carefully assess options, involve communities, and follow strict safety standards to ensure radioactive materials are contained and isolated for thousands of years. Essentially, NWMO ensures nuclear waste is managed responsibly, minimizing risks and maintaining safety for current and future generations.
