  SECURAD | Monitored Retrievable Disposal of Civilian Spent Nuclear Fuel  
 
       
 

To design and build a deep geological repository for used (spent) nuclear fuel in Northeastern Canada in a massive area of barren Archean rock.

To provide a safe and secure solution that will protect the environment for current and future generations under every possible circumstance.

To implement a system to transport used fuel to the repository predominately by waterways rather than road or rail.

To build a repository allowing future retrieval and reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel.

To involve local communities in project development, creating career opportunities.

To operate the repository and transport system as a Monitored/Retrievable Storage (MRS) facility for the benefit of the energy industry and the safety of the environment.




 

Located in a massive, highly stable geological formation.

Minimal presence of ground and surface water.

Located on a far Northern East Coast - no population downwind.

Near zero human and animal population over 150,000 square mile area.

Deep-harbor sea access to repository.

Safer and direct transport by waterway from most North American nuclear power plants.

Topology allows for complete security control of access.
