Hello. I am a resident of Dryden Ontario and a member of Migisi Sahgaigan (Eagle Lake) First Nation. I am generally opposed to the project and the plans to store.
Major concerns I've had are Emergency protocol for residents, Transportation, water usage for the storage of the nuclear waste, mitigation of adverse affects or potential accidents.
the proposal for what to include in the impact assessment has included an acknowledgement some of the comments from the first comment period, but I would like to emphasize the concerns listed above.
What alternative storage methods are available and have these alternatives been fully explored? Have these alternative methods seen the opinion of residents of Northwestern Ontario?
The nuclear fuel projections report of 2025 provided from the Nuclear Waste management Organization mention3d both wet and Dry Storage, and will this project require water being pumped through the DGR? How much water and will this affect residents of the surrounding communities?
transportation-will citizens be notified of when transport of the nuclear materials happens? How and when will they receive these notifications? What route they're taking and at what hours? Will the transport driver be protected? And if people are traveling alongside the transports carrying Nuclear waste- will they be able to identify the transport as a vehicle transporting the nuclear waste?
I'm concerned about the worst case scenario of project and would really prefer this project does not see fruition. But would all associated parties provide an informational and detailed plan of what citizens of Dryden, Ignace, Waabigoon, and other communities that are in close proxinmity of the project, are meant to do in emergency? How should residents evacuate? Where should they evacuate to? When and what circumstances would they need to? And other emergency procedures at any point in the project timeline.
I would like the impact assessment to disclose the best case scenario conditions of radiation and the adverse affects (minimal exposure and minimal harm) but also the worst case with the worst projections and those affects. All communities should be informed of the potential harm and adverse affects before the continuation of this project.
a more personal concern, and more emotionally charged I will admit, is I am not confident that this project is keeping the interest of Indigenous communities of Wabigoon, Migisi, and other communities at heart. The project is antithetical to the metnality of 7 generations mentality, I do not think a nuclear storage project, something that is notorious for taking such a long time to stabilize or to stop being as dangerous, can truly be in line with the intergenerational mentality of Idnigeous knowledge. The decisions we make today have to consider the next 7 generations and beyond and I don't think this project or its impact assessment can be confident in how these future generations will be affected.
Will the Nuclear Waste Managment Orgnaization remain accountable for adverse affects they brought to the ecological community? This project if it goes wrong, and it has so many opportunities for it to go very wrong, will negatively impact the residents of the surrounding communities in Northwestern Ontario, and I have seen people abandon Indigenous communities in similar projects and incidents, I do not want to see the same aversion of accountability happen to any of the communities this project will impact.
