Peace River Nuclear Power Project
What is happening? OTTAWA, ON, June 23, 2025 /CNW/ - The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) have initiated the process for a potential integrated assessment for the proposed Peace River Nuclear Power Project, a new nuclear power plant located north of the Town of Peace River, Alberta. As part of the planning phase in the integrated assessment process, IAAC and CNSC invite Indigenous Nations and communities and the public to review and provide feedback on the draft Integrated Tailored Impact Statement Guidelines (the draft Integrated Guidelines) and the draft Public Participation Plan (draft Plan). The draft Integrated Guidelines outline the specific factors to be considered in the assessment of the project and provide direction to the proponent, Energy Alberta, on the studies and information required in its Impact Statement, as well in the licence application for a licence to prepare site. The draft Plan explains how the public will be engaged throughout the review process and provides details on how and when public participation opportunities will take place for each phase of the integrated assessment. The project is likely subject to an integrated assessment since it must meet the requirements of both the Impact Assessment Act and the Nuclear Safety and Control Act. IAAC and CNSC are working together on the project's review to achieve the goal of "one project, one assessment." How can I participate? Comments should be submitted online by visiting the project home page on the Canadian Impact Assessment Registry (reference number 89430). The draft Integrated Guidelines and the draft Plan are also available on the Registry.

A French session is available upon request. (Note that the town halls are being led by the municipalities, but IAAC and CNSC will be attending to give a presentation and answer questions.) For a list of additional sessions and information on how to attend, please visit the project homepage and click on " Information Sessions." If you have any questions, please contact IAAC using the project email above. Will there be more opportunities to participate?
