Summary
The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) is asking the public to provide their comments on discussion paper DIS-16-04, Small Modular Reactors: Regulatory Strategy, Approaches and Challenges.

This discussion paper provides an overview of potential regulatory issues associated SMRs and how they could be addressed. In summary, the paper explains:
- issues at a high level, along with a short description of specific items to be addressed in future work
- how the CNSC plans to address these issues using existing regulatory tools and processes
- the implications of the innovative approaches being considered by SMR proponents that need to be examined to a greater degree to confirm if additional supporting regulatory requirements or guidance are needed
