This conference focused on activities relevant to Canada’s nuclear industry, however as many of the technical issues involved have broader relevance and have been encountered globally, papers from outside the nuclear industry, as well as international papers, were encouraged.

 

The 6th Canadian Conference on Waste Management, Decommissioning and Environmental Restoration will be held in Blue Mountain on August24th-28th, 2025. The theme of the conference is Balancing the Management of Radioactive Waste and Future Decommissioning Of Canada’s Existing Nuclear Fleet with the needs for building a new Zero-Carbon Future.

Canada’s leading conference on radioactive waste and decommissioning is happening at an exciting time for the industry as the Deep Geological Repository for Spent Fuel project is moving to the next stage with NWMO’s announcement on it’s primary site.  
 
At the same time, Canada is exploring further nuclear power stations to support the national strategy to develop Zero-Carbon Electricity where consideration of waste and decommissioning is an integral part of the regulatory design approval process.

The conference will be organized into three days of plenary sessions, concurrent technical tracks and poster sessions with a business exhibition to showcase technology, equipment and services. Optional post-conference technical tours will be available. More information to come!
