Part A of this document is intended to assist licensees and licence applicants in developing human factors engineering program planning documentation that demonstrates how human factors considerations are incorporated into activities licensed by the CNSC. Such considerations help satisfy certain regulatory requirements by demonstrating that licensees and applicants have made adequate provision for health, safety and protection of the environment. Part B of this document is intended to assist licensees and licence applicants in planning for human factors verification and validation activities. Such activities help satisfy certain regulatory requirements by demonstrating that licensees and applicants have made adequate provision for the protection of the environment and the health and safety of persons

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 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 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 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 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.

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

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

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 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.
