At the NWMO, we structure our work plans around seven priorities: engineering, site assessment, safety, transition to site, the regulatory decision-making process, partnership and transportation. In this section, we outline our plans within these seven work streams.

Our commitment to Reconciliation and aligning with Indigenous Knowledge guides our efforts in all priority areas.

Over the next five years, we will transition from the site selection process to the regulatory decision-making process. These planning priorities reflect the many activities required during this transitional period.
