Document description

RD-360 version 2 sets out the requirements of the CNSC regarding activities a licensee must undertake in support of a project for long-term operation or to prepare for the end of operation of a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) leading up to its decommissioning. Long-term operation of an NPP denotes operation beyond the assumed design life of the plant. End of operation is the final, permanent shutdown of reactor operation of an NPP or unit of a multi-unit NPP facility.

• RD-360 version 2 will supersede RD-360, Life Extension of Nuclear Power Plants, after it receives final approval by the Commission and is published. Publication of RD-360 version 2 is planned for Spring 2013.

Steps ahead

• Review of comments received during the additional consultation, and revision of the draft regulatory document
• Presentation of draft RD-360 version 2 to the Commission for final approval
• Once approved, publication of RD-360 version 2

Relevant laws and regulations
