North Wales residents are being consulted in the search for a site to dump 60 years worth of the UK's most dangerous radioactive waste.
A meeting is being held in Llandudno next month as the government hunts for a "willing host community" where waste accumulated from power stations can be buried hundreds of metres underground.
No details of any potential sites have been made public by Radioactive Waste Management (RWM).
There are also consultation events taking place in Swansea and six parts of England, Wales Online reports.
The Welsh Government said it supported the principle of finding a long-term solution for the most dangerous radioactive waste through burying it but would only support such a site being in Wales if a community was willing to host it.
Radioactive Waste Management (RWM) is a subsidiary of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and is looking for a site for a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF).
The government's website describes such a facility as a "major infrastructure project that provide a permanent solution to the legacy of higher-activity waste that has been accumulating in the UK for over 60 years".
The government has carried out a survey to determine which areas have the "geological potential to host a GDF".
The waste is currently stored in 20 sites around the country in specially-engineered containers but this is not seen as a long-term solution.
It is expected that the process of selecting an underground site and going through the planning and construction process will take decades with any chosen site first receiving waste in the 2040s.
The government website says that communities willing to take part on the consultation will receive £1m a year initially and up to £2.5m a year if boreholes are drilled.
Councillor Gareth Jones, the leader of Conwy Borough Council, said the first they had heard about the Llandudno meeting after a query was lodged by Wales Online to the authority.
A Conwy Borough Council spokeswoman said: “The council leader wasn’t aware of the Radioactive Waste event taking place in Llandudno.
“We’ve found the details online and will circulate to colleagues and members.”
Lesley Griffiths, Welsh Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs, said: "A GDF provides a permanent solution to the long-term management of HAW, rather than leaving the responsibility to future generations.
“Geological disposal has been adopted around the world as the best and safest option for the long-term management of HAW and aligns with the advice of the independent expert Committee on Radioactive Waste Management (CoRWM).
“However this, of course, does not necessarily mean a GDF will be built in Wales. The Welsh Government has not identified any potential sites or communities to host a GDF in Wales nor will it do so. Our policy is very clear, a GDF can only be sited in Wales if a community is willing to host it."
She added: "The GDF will be a multi-billion-pound infrastructure investment and will provide skilled jobs and benefits to the community that hosts it for more than 100 years."
A Welsh Government spokesman added: “The Welsh Government has developed a geological disposal policy but this does not mean a geological disposal facility (GDF) will be built in Wales.
“The Welsh Government has not identified any potential sites or communities willing to host such a facility in Wales and nor will it do so.
“A GDF can only be sited in Wales if a community is willing to host it.”
