Ricardo Gerdingh recently hosted his sister, Carmen Gerdingh, from Mexico City, and his nephew, Alfredo Caponnetto, from Edinburgh, Scotland, at his home in Point Clark. As a member of the Huron-Kinloss Nuclear Waste Community Advisory Committee, Ricardo has a special interest in Canada’s plan for the safe, long-term management of used nuclear fuel so he brought his relatives to the Learn More Centre in Ripley for a briefing about the project. Both Carmen and Alfredo found the briefing very informative and were especially interested in the safety aspects of the repository as well as the progress of other countries who need to manage their used nuclear fuel.

About the NWMO
The Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) is a not-for-profit organization tasked with the safe, long-term management of Canada’s used nuclear fuel inside a deep geological repository, in a manner that protects people and the environment for generations to come.
Founded in 2002, the NWMO has been guided for more than 20 years by a dedicated team of world-class scientists, engineers and Indigenous Knowledge Holders that are developing innovative and collaborative solutions for nuclear waste management. Canada’s plan will only proceed in an area with informed and willing hosts, where the municipality, First Nation and Métis communities, and others in the area are working together to implement it. The NWMO plans to select a site in 2024, and two areas remain in our site selection process: the Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation-Ignace area in northwestern Ontario and the Saugeen Ojibway Nation-South Bruce area in southern Ontario.
