Document description

This discussion paper sets out a proposed approach for providing direction to current licensees and new applicants of nuclear facilities in Canada to ensure the protection of groundwater. These facilities include Class I nuclear facilities, uranium mines and mills and nuclear waste management facilities. The discussion paper proposes to consolidate, clarify and build on existing environmental protection requirements. Adoption of this proposed approach would provide future regulatory direction to nuclear facility licensees.
