Long-term Nuclear Waste Storage Deep Geologic Repository Study
Project Brief geocomp.com Long-term Nuclear Waste Storage Deep Geologic Repository Study Background & Project Challenges In 2006, Ontario Power Generation (OPG) studied the feasibility of constructing and operating a Deep Geologic Repository (DGR) for the long- term storage of low and intermediate level nuclear waste. The concept was to mine out a repository approximately 660 meters below the ground surface to store 80,000-m 3 of low l
