The Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) was established in 2002 in accordance with the Nuclear Fuel Waste Act to assume responsibility for long-term management of Canada's used nuclear fuel. The NWMO is implementing Adaptive Phased Management (APM), the approach selected by the Government of Canada in 2007 for long-term management of used nuclear fuel.  The goal of APM is long-term containment and isolation of used nuclear fuel in a Deep Geological Repository (DGR) constructed in a suitable rock formation in either sedimentary or crystalline rock at a depth of approximately 500 m. In support of APM, NWMO has an active Research and Development (R&D) Program that is refining engineering designs, conducting safety assessments, and is developing plans and methods to assess the suitability of communities engaged in the site selection process.
