EM Senior Advisor William “Ike” White joined leaders from the United Kingdom, Canada and France at the 2023 Waste Management Symposia to issue a joint statement today declaring their commitment to continue building their longstanding collaboration of cleanup of nuclear legacy sites.

The statement affirms their dedication to continue their collaboration on the successful decommissioning and remediation of legacy nuclear sites and the safe management of radioactive waste to ensure the protection of present and future generations and the environment.

White and officials from the United Kingdom’s Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission and the French National Radioactive Waste Management Agency issued the multilateral statement.

The need for safe, sustainable and economically viable site cleanup is common to many countries. International partnerships and the mutual exchange of best practices, lessons learned and innovative technologies and approaches are critical to the parties’ decisions and collective success.

The parties are proud of their collaborative efforts over the past three decades and look forward to a continued positive and productive working relationship in the future.
