Nuclear energy has been identified as a priority in the Government of Canada's 2007 Science and Technology Strategy. Large scale nuclear power refurbishment projects and strong interest in building new power reactors demonstrates the Canada-wide importance of this technology. However, we need to consider the safety and security of used nuclear fuel over long time scales, how this spent fuel may eventually be used as a resource, and the role of governments and societies in the adoption of these technologies. The goal of the research is to establish a sustainable advanced nuclear fuel cycle and a safe geological disposal system for radioactive waste which addresses societal perceptions related to these technologies.

核能已被确定为加拿大政府2007年科学和技术战略的优先事项。大规模核电整修项目和对建造新动力反应堆的浓厚兴趣表明了这项技术在加拿大范围内的重要性。然而，我们需要考虑使用过的核燃料在很长一段时间内的安全性和保障，这种乏燃料最终如何被用作一种资源，以及政府和社会在采用这些技术方面的作用。这项研究的目标是建立一个可持续的先进核燃料循环和一个安全的放射性废物地质处置系统，以解决与这些技术有关的社会看法。
