The Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Office (LLRWMO)
was established in 1982 to carry out the responsibilities of the federal government for the management of
low-level radioactive waste in Canada. The
Office is operated by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited through a cost-recovery
agreement with Natural Resources Canada, the federal department that provides
the funding and establishes national policy for LLRW management.
The main activities of the LLRWMO are:
-
resolve historic waste problems that are a federal
responsibility, and
-
address public information needs about low-level radioactive waste.
