The Port Hope Project
The Port Hope Project involves the construction of a new long-term waste management facility at the closed low-level radioactive waste management facility and adjacent property, south of Highway 401 and west of Baulch Road, in the Municipality of Port Hope. Existing waste at the site will be excavated and placed in a new, engineered aboveground mound.
Other historic low-level radioactive waste and specified industrial waste from various sites in the urban area of Port Hope will be removed and safely transported to the new facility. The facility is being designed to manage a capacity of approximately 2 million cubic metres of waste (including contingencies and daily clean soil cover materials) from within the Municipality of Port Hope.
