Summary

REGDOC-1.1.1, Site Evaluation and Site Preparation for New Reactor Facilities, addresses site preparation and site evaluation for new reactor facilities. Its content covers the suitability of a site for constructing and operating a nuclear power plant or small reactor. It also sets out the requirements and guidance for a licence to prepare site.

This document will be used to assess licence applications for proposed reactor facilities. Once the Commission has granted a licence, the safety and control measures described in the licence application and the documents needed to support those safety and control measures will form part of the licensing basis.

Version 1.2 includes administrative updates to reflect the latest changes made to the CNSC’s Safety and Control Area Framework.
