The Nuclear Waste Management Organization is responding to some recent criticism.

The group says it will be pleased to meet with a committee of concerned citizens from Beauval and Pinehouse whenever it can.

The committee has expressed its displeasure with the NWMO about its search for a community willing to host a nuclear waste repository.

The committee recently wrote a letter to Premier Brad Wall calling on him to ban any storage of nuclear waste in Saskatchewan.

Mike Krizanc (kreh-ZANK) is a spokesman for the NWMO.

He says they welcome all questions and concerns, but stresses no actual decisions have been made yet.

He adds the selection process will take 7 to 10 years.
