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 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

The purpose of training in the nuclear industry is to ensure that workers are competent and qualified to perform the duties of their position. As required by the General Nuclear Safety and Control Regulations, workers shall be trained to carry on the licensed activity. A training system provides the basis for the analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation, documentation and management of training for workers at nuclear facilities. It provides a method for meeting the training needs of workers and ensuring that the right people receive the right training at the right time. With a training system as defined in this regulatory document, it can be demonstrated that all required knowledge, skills and safety-related attributes have been attained, through the process of performance-based assessment and program evaluation. Without a training system, there is a risk that important elements of training will be omitted and the operating state of the facility will not be reflected in the training programs.

This document provides guidance for the completion and submission of the application form for certification of radiation devices or Class II prescribed equipment, in accordance with the Nuclear Safety and Control Act (NSCA) and the regulations made under it.

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.

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 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 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.

The purpose of this regulatory document is to provide, through a reference, the CNSC’s requirements and guidance for certification as an exposure device operator (EDO) and for renewal of an EDO certification. This information is detailed in a Canadian Standards Association (CSA Group) document.

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).
