The Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) has released Implementing Adaptive Phased Management 2013 to 2017, our annually updated strategic plan. It describes our five-year work program, presenting highlights in seven key areas.

Activities are outlined in each area to support continued progress. The plan is regularly assessed, strengthened and redirected as appropriate in the face of new information, advances in technology and science, evolving public policy and comments we receive through our engagement initiatives. We report our progress in our Annual Report, which is published every March.

We released a draft of the 2013 to 2017 plan for public comment in October 2012. With the close of the review period, the Plan has been revised to reflect comments received and is published here. We invite all Canadians and Aboriginal peoples of Canada to stay involved in the Adaptive Phased Management of Canada’s used nuclear fuel. We welcome your comments and ideas about how we are continuing to move forward.
