What is the Port Hope Area Initiative? The Port Hope Area Initiative (PHAI) is a community-initiated environmental remediation project that began in 2001 and is currently underway in Port Hope. Its goal is the cleanup and safe, local, long-term management of low-level radioactive waste in the Port Hope area and the Port Granby waste storage facilities. The waste is historic in nature because it resulted from radium and uranium refining done in Port Hope dating back to the 1930s. The Government of Canada has assumed responsibility for the cleanup and long-term safe management of this waste.The PHAI will contribute to the long-term renewal and regeneration of Port Hope and the Port Granby waste site area. Potential project benefits include an improved natural environment and enhanced opportunities for social and economic growth.Atomic Energy of Canada Limited Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission NRCan, Uranium, Nuclear Energy and Waste Management Health Canada, Radiation Protection Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Office (LLRWMO)
