The purpose of this regulatory document is to specify the detailed requirements and provide guidance pertinent to the certification of the reactor facility workers employed or seeking employment in designated positions

This regulatory document provides information to assist applicants in preparing and submitting applications for certification as a Radiation Safety Officer (RSO). Its purpose is to ensure that persons seeking certification by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) for the position of RSO at a Class II nuclear facility are qualified to carry out the duties of the position, in accordance with the Nuclear Safety and Control Act (NSCA) and its regulations. The document also presents information related to the process that candidates seeking certification must undergo, in order to acquire and maintain the certification.

The purpose of this document is to set out the regulatory requirements of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) for public information and disclosure, for licensees and applicants. A program for public information includes a public disclosure protocol regarding events and developments involving their facilities and/or activities. This document also provides guidance on the development and implementation of CNSC requirements for public information programs and disclosure protocols. This document is also intended to assist CNSC staff in assessing the public information program and its disclosure protocol for a new CNSC licence, a licence renewal or continuing compliance verification.

This document provides guidance for the design, testing and performance of exposure devices containing radioactive sealed sources, and related accessories to those devices.

The purpose of this regulatory document is to assist Class I nuclear facility licensees and applicants for a Class I nuclear facility licence to demonstrate to the CNSC that they will ensure the presence of a sufficient number of qualified workers to carry on the licensed activity safely and in accordance with the Nuclear Safety and Control Act (NSCA, the Act) [1], the regulations made under the NSCA, and their licence.

This regulatory document provides information on conventional health and safety (CHS). In accordance with the Nuclear Safety and Control Act (NSCA), the CNSC has a mandate related to the risks to health and safety of persons associated with the development, production and use of nuclear energy, with the production, possession and use of nuclear substances, and with prescribed equipment and information. CHS is a safety and control area (SCA) that covers the implementation of a program to manage workplace safety hazards and to protect workers. Occupational health and safety (OHS) seeks to prevent worker illness and injuries through the proactive identification and mitigation of hazards. OHS in a nuclear setting consists of four SCAs: CHS; emergency management and fire protection; physical design; and radiation protection. The CNSC evaluates each SCA to determine whether licensees meet the regulatory requirements set out in the NSCA and its associated regulations.

The purpose of this regulatory policy document is to provide assurance that the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) considers issues with respect to human factors in its regulatory activities.

The purpose of this regulatory document, when incorporated into a licence to construct or operate a reactor facility or other legally enforceable instrument, is to ensure that the licensee conducts a probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) in accordance with defined requirements.

The purpose of this document is to provide information: • on management systems that are applicable to different types of CNSC licensees • related to CSA Group’s CSA standard N286-12, Management system requirements for nuclear facilities [1] • on specific topics that have been the subject of recent developments in management system standards, as well as those of recent regulatory interest with respect to management systems • on radiation safety oversight related to nuclear substances, radiation devices and Class II nuclear facilities

This regulatory document provides guidance and clarity on requirements for the application of the RPR. This regulatory document will help ensure that licensees implement adequate measures for radiation protection in accordance with the Nuclear Safety and Control Act (NSCA, the Act) and the RPR. This regulatory document is intended for use by CNSC licensees and applicants
