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.

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 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 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 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.

Regulatory document REGDOC-2.3.4, Operations Programs for Reactor Facilities, clarifies the requirements for, and provides guidance on, developing and implementing operations programs for reactor facilities (nuclear power plants, advanced reactor designs and small modular reactors). This regulatory document is based on operational experience (OPEX) and best practices developed from water-cooled nuclear power plants. This information will be updated as additional information is gathered from advanced reactor designs and small modular reactors. Proponents, applicants and licensees of advanced reactor designs and small modular reactors should apply the information and concepts from this regulatory document to the extent practicable and as best applicable to that design.

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

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 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 the requirements of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) for the design of new water-cooled nuclear power plants. It establishes a set of comprehensive design requirements and guidance that are risk-informed and align with accepted national and international codes and practices.
