REGDOC-1.2.3 - Licence Application Guide: Licence to Prepare Site for a Deep Geological Repository

This regulatory document provides clarity about the requirements and provides guidance on the
information needed to apply for a licence to prepare site for a DGR facility.
A DGR is a facility where radioactive waste is placed in a deep, stable, geological formation
(usually several hundred metres or more below the surface). The facility is engineered to isolate
and contain radioactive waste to provide the long-term isolation of nuclear substances from the
biosphere.
