Summary

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) is asking the public to provide their comments on discussion paper DIS-13-01, Proposals to Amend the Radiation Protection Regulations.

The discussion paper proposes amendments to existing sections of the regulations and offers new requirements for radiation detection and measurement instrumentation, and responsibility for radiation protection. These amendments would harmonize Regulations with updated international standards. They would also clarify requirements and address gaps identified in light of the nuclear incident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan.
