Administrative monetary penalty issued to New Brunswick Power Corporation
On March 20, 2025, the CNSC issued an administrative monetary penalty (AMP) of $24,760 to New Brunswick Power Corporation.
The AMP was issued to New Brunswick Power Corporation for failure to comply with Licence Condition 2.1 of the power reactor operating licence, which states, "The licensee shall implement and maintain a human performance program". The compliance verification criteria require New Brunswick Power Corporation to comply with the requirements of REGDOC-2.2.4, Fitness for Duty: Managing Worker Fatigue, which provides hours of work and recovery limits for workers in safety-sensitive positions.
In 2022, 2023, and 2024, CNSC staff conducted inspections that identified numerous non-compliances with REGDOC-2.2.4 by workers in safety-sensitive positions. A contributing factor was the use of shift-scheduling software that did not correctly flag when worker schedules violated the requirements of REGDOC-2.2.4.
This AMP is being issued to New Brunswick Power Corporation to promote compliance and to deter reoccurrence.
