Like many other countries with nuclear power programs, Canada is beginning to decide how spent nuclear fuel should be managed and disposed of over the long term. Canada has committed to developing an underground disposal facility known as a deep geologic repository (DGR), and is currently undergoing the first stages of a site-selection process using an open-siting approach. Siting a DGR for nuclear fuel waste is the responsibility of the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO). The inevitable uncertainties associated with storing nuclear fuel waste for many thousands of years has polarized stakeholder positions, resulting in a highly conflictive decision-making environment. Furthermore, calls for the inclusion of stakeholders from beyond municipal boundaries have increasingly been expressed. Developing a decision-making process that bridges polarized viewpoints, while also including stakeholders from beyond the local context, remains a challenge.

520 $a Like many other countries with nuclear power programs, Canada is beginning to decide how spent nuclear fuel should be managed and disposed of over the long term. Canada has committed to developing an underground disposal facility known as a deep geologic repository (DGR), and is currently undergoing the first stages of a site-selection process using an open-siting approach. Siting a DGR for nuclear fuel waste is the responsibility of the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO). The inevitable uncertainties associated with storing nuclear fuel waste for many thousands of years has polarized stakeholder positions, resulting in a highly conflictive decision-making environment. Furthermore, calls for the inclusion of stakeholders from beyond municipal boundaries have increasingly been expressed. Developing a decision-making process that bridges polarized viewpoints, while also including stakeholders from beyond the local context, remains a challenge.
520 $a Collaborative Environmental Decision-Making (CEDM) has emerged as a decision-making process specifically oriented at overcoming entrenched positions, and including stakeholders from beyond the local community. The focus is on resolving disputes before they become entrenched, solving problems through dialogue, encouraging team building, and (sometimes) sharing power to formulate creative solutions. The CEDM process shares some key principles with the open siting approach, particularly with respect to the ideas of active participation, access to resources, and information sharing. The difference between the two processes is related to scale and orientation. The open siting approach is focused strictly on providing a voice and decision-making power to the local, geographic community, including mechanisms for local public participation, but seems relatively silent on specific methods for bridging entrenched stakeholder positions or involving stakeholders beyond the local scale. In contrast, the CEDM approach is specifically oriented towards processes that are useful for developing stakeholder relationships, and although it has not been applied at a national scale, it has been utilized beyond the confines of geographic community-level stakeholders and local-level siting to include much broader spaces and communities of interest.
520 $a The purpose of this research is to develop a modified CEDM-informed open-siting model (specifically designed for siting a DGR) oriented at bridging entrenched stakeholder positions and including broader-based stakeholders into the decision-making process. To accomplish this, a framework was developed and applied through in-depth interviews and a document analysis on NWMO published literature. The framework highlights five principles of CEDM for this study: power sharing, open dialogue and discussion, information sharing, representation and access to resources. The data revealed that the site selection process should provide open forums where all interested, engaged and knowledgeable stakeholders can engage directly with each other, that transportation should become an intrinsic part of the siting process, and that the establishment of an independent funding organization (separate from the NWMO) is warranted. This research identifies how the NWMO open siting model could be improved to better embrace and realize the ideas of collaboration.
