This document provides guidance for designing a radiation protection program for the transport of nuclear substances in accordance with the Nuclear Safety and Control Act (NSCA) [1] and the regulations made under the NSCA.

Part I of REGDOC-2.13.2, Import and Export, sets out the guidance of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) for current and prospective licensees who intend to import or export nuclear and nuclear-related dual-use items, also known as controlled nuclear substances, equipment and information. Part II of REGDOC-2.13.2, Import and Export sets out the guidance of the CNSC for current and prospective licensees who intend to import or export risk-significant radioactive sources (Category 1 and 2 radioactive sources), as set out in International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) RS-G-1.9, Categorization of Radioactive Sources.

This document sets out the CNSC’s requirements and guidance for anyone who intends to import or export nuclear and nuclear-related dual-use items, also known as controlled nuclear substances, equipment and information.

This regulatory document sets out requirements and guidance for reports and notifications that licensees of waste nuclear substances, Class II nuclear facilities and users of prescribed equipment, nuclear substances and radiation devices must submit to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC). This document also presents the types of reports and the applicable timeframe for reporting. Licensees and those who transport nuclear substances are required to report to the CNSC regarding situations, events and dangerous occurrences. Regulatory document REGDOC-3.1.3 incorporates and clarifies requirements found in the Nuclear Safety and Control Act (NSCA) and regulations made under the NSCA, including requirements for content and timing of reports. Additionally, it provides guidance on the interpretation and scope of application of these requirements in the context of Class II nuclear facilities, nuclear substances and radiation devicesand waste nuclear substance licensees. Further to the reporting requirements set by the NSCA and the regulations, a licence may contain any term or condition that identifies a reporting requirement and the time frame for submitting the report. This document provides guidance on these licence conditions, including the submission of an annual compliance report (ACR).

This document provides information about making, receiving, reviewing, appealing and redetermining orders pursuant to the Nuclear Safety and Control Act (NSCA) and its regulations.

Part A of regulatory document REGDOC-2.12.3, Security of Nuclear Substances: Sealed Sources and Category I, II and III Nuclear Material, Version 2, sets out the minimum security measures that licensees must implement to prevent the loss, sabotage, illegal use, illegal possession or illegal removal of sealed sources during their entire lifecycle, including while they are in storage or transport, or being stored during transportation. If third-party carriers are used to transport radioactive material, this document also sets out the minimum security measures that a licensee must ensure a carrier of sealed sources complies with while the sealed sources are in transport or being stored during transportation.Part B of this document sets out guidance to help applicants prepare and submit the security information to be included with an application for a licence in respect of Category I or II nuclear material or a nuclear facility. It also provides guidance for applicants to prepare a “written transportation security plan” with respect to a licence to transport Category I, II or III nuclear material.

This document provides information on the framework for radioactive waste management and decommissioning in Canada. It describes the philosophy underlying the CNSC’s approach to regulating the management of radioactive waste and the decommissioning of facilities, and explains the principles taken into account in CNSC regulatory decisions. This document also details the CNSC’s regulatory policy that: • requires the implementation of measures to manage radioactive waste to: • protect the health and safety of persons and the environment • provide for the maintenance of national security • achieve conformity with measures of control and international obligations to which Canada has agreed • promotes consistent national and international standards and practices for decommissioning and the management and control of radioactive waste

Environmental protection for nuclear facilities and activities is done in accordance with the Nuclear Safety and Control Act (NSCA) and the regulations made under the NSCA. This legislation includes provisions to ensure that licensees are meeting the CNSC’s mandate to protect the environment and the health, safety and security of persons. The CNSC requires the environmental effects of all nuclear facilities or activities to be considered and evaluated when licensing decisions are made. This regulatory document provides information to applicants and licensees on protecting the environment and the health of persons, including: - identification of facility or activity interactions with the environment and the public - identification and mitigation of potential environmental effects associated with these interactions - design and implementation of effluent and emission release measures and of the environmental monitoring measures to confirm or test the predictions and the actual effects - periodic assessments of the environmental protection measures and the licensee’s performance In particular, this regulatory document describes: - the CNSC’s principles for environmental protection - for all nuclear facilities or activities that interact with the environment, the scope of an environmental assessment (EA) and the roles and responsibilities associated with an EA - the CNSC’s requirements and guidance to applicants and licensees for developing environmental protection measures, including an environmental risk assessment (ERA) where required, for both new and existing facilities or activities

This regulatory document sets out the requirements of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) for deterministic safety analysis for nuclear power plants (NPPs) and small reactor facilities.

Regulatory document REGDOC-1.6.2, Developing and Implementing an Effective Radiation Protection Program for Nuclear Substances and Radiation Devices Licences provides guidance to nuclear substances and radiation devices licensees and applicants on the development, implementation, management and assessment of their radiation protection programs.
