A Canadian long-range infrastructure proposal combines rail links across Ontario, upgrades to the St. Lawrence Seaway and its locks, and investment across the civil nuclear sector. Subterranean waste storage is treated as workable for containment but still temporary. A lasting policy would also need to address the waste itself rather than leaving it underground indefinitely. Sellafield is mentioned as a British attempt to develop that capability, with its effectiveness and maturity left uncertain.

Canadian infrastructure and nuclear-waste planning
A Canadian infrastructure proposal leads to a cautious distinction between temporary nuclear-waste storage and a lasting treatment solution.
