The Nuclear Fuel Waste Act is a major breakthrough in Canada for responsibly managing nuclear fuel waste over the long term. The legislation allows the Government of Canada to ensure that waste owners fully meet their financial responsibilities and carry out waste activities in a comprehensive, integrated and economically sound manner. ... The Act also sets in motion a transparent process for the development of options for the long-term management of nuclear fuel waste and mechanisms to ensure public participation in decision-making processes on the proposed options. 3, record 1, English, - Nuclear%20Fuel%20Waste%20Act
