This regulatory document sets out the requirements of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) with regard to maintenance programs for nuclear power plants (NPPs). This document also provides information and guidance on how the requirements may be met. When incorporated into a licence or other legally enforceable instrument, this regulatory document becomes a legal requirement.

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

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 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.

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.

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 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.

This regulatory document consolidates the requirements and guidance of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) for reports and, notifications to and the filing of specific records with the CNSC by licensees of nuclear power plants (NPPs), as well as the applicable time frames for reporting. Licensees are required to report to or notify the CNSC of situations, events, or dangerous occurrences that may require short-term action by the CNSC. They are also required to submit or file other reports, notifications or specific records, including routine scheduled reports on various topics such as certain normal business activities that are required for action by the CNSC, or that are required for longer-term compliance monitoring.

This regulatory document clarifies requirements and provides guidance for applicants and licensees on how to demonstrate the safety of a Class IB nuclear facility, including information relating to: • the safety analysis program (the managed process that governs the conduct of a safety analysis) • the conduct of a safety analysis (the systematic evaluation of the potential hazards) • safety analysis documents, records and reporting

This regulatory document clarifies the regulatory requirements and provides guidance for the design, operation, monitoring, qualification and performance assessment of nuclear fuel. It articulates a set of comprehensive fuel-related regulatory requirements and provides risk-informed guidance that aligns with accepted national and international codes and practices.
