   Summary: Canada's low-level radioactive wastes (LLW) have a wide range of physical forms and radionuc1ides, and are currently managed either by producers or by the Atomic Energy of Canada's Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories (CRNL), which operates a national collection and management service for small producers. The processing and storage methods are generally well established. Substantial research and development is in progress for a gradual transition to disposal methods, including a shallow land burial (SLB) demonstration facility at CRNL. With a federal policy that encourages producers to propose disposal methods, the stage is now set for a transition from the current interim methods to long-term methods of LLW management.
