In recent years, DNA has collaborated closely with CELA (the Canadian Environmental Law Association) on interventions to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC).

To take a look at CELA’s submissions, go to the CELA Web site, locate the search bar, & put Durham Nuclear Awareness into it.

On January 8, 2025, a new 5-day CNSC hearing took place regarding the construction of an SMR (Small Modular Reactor) at the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station.

The CNSC’s Web site is here.

You can find the agenda for this 5-day hearing on the CNSC site here.
