The 80-page agreement restates the township’s commitment to a “willingness process” to determine whether Ignace supports being host to a repository for nuclear waste
IGNACE — The northwestern Ontario township on the shortlist for hosting nuclear waste storage has signed what it calls a “historic” agreement with the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO). A news release from Ignace stated, however, that the pact “in no way either guarantees that the Township will host a deep geological repository for used nuclear fuel or that a decision on willingness has been made.”
Mayor Kim Baigrie said Tuesday the people of Ignace “should be excited” about the agreement but added that whether the community should welcome the proposed repository in their area is “everyone’s choice.”
“Everyone will have their choice, you know, and that’s what I’ve always said, and that’s what I will continue to say,” she told Dougall Media.“It is up to the people in the long run. In the end, it is up to the people if they want it or not.”
The 80-page Hosting Agreement restates the township’s commitment to a “willingness process” to determine whether Ignace supports being host to the repository.
