To meet the legal requirements of the Nuclear Safety and Control Act (NSCA) and
Nuclear Safety and Control Regulations, licensees must implement programs that provide
adequate provisions for protection of the environment, health and safety of persons,
maintenance of national security, and the measures required to implement Canada’s
international obligations.
These reports summarize the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) staff’s
assessment of the safety performance of nuclear power plant licensees in the Canadian
nuclear power industry. Assessments are based on the legal requirements of the
NSCA and regulations as well as the conditions of operating licences and applicable standards.
