Lorado Environmental Risk Assessment Update

SRC is seeking qualified consultants to update the pre-remediation Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) for the abandoned Lorado uranium mill site, following remediation and ten years of follow-up monitoring. The updated ERA will support a future SRC submission to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) and the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment (MOE) for the transfer of the Lorado Mill Site to the ICP.

The objectives of this work are to develop a fit‑for‑purpose, technically defensible ERA aligned with CNSC and MOE expectations and requirements. The work will include review and update of the existing Conceptual Site Model (CSM); characterization of residual radiological and chemical risks; identification of key risk drivers and uncertainties; and development of practical recommendations for long‑term risk management and monitoring. The essential purpose of the ERA is to support future SRC regulatory submissions for site transfer into the ICP.
