Summary
The CNSC uses a comprehensive licensing system that covers the lifecycle of a DGR. This regulatory document, REGDOC-1.2.3, Licence Application Guide: Licence to Prepare Site for a Deep Geological Repository, provides clarity on the requirements and guidance for preparing an application for a licence to prepare a site for a DGR.
A graded approach, commensurate with risk, may be defined and used when applying the requirements and guidance contained in this regulatory document. The use of a graded approach is not a relaxation of requirements. With a graded approach, requirements are applied in proportion to the risks and particular characteristics of the facility or licensed activity.
For information on the implementation of regulatory documents and the graded approach, see REGDOC-3.5.3, Regulatory Fundamentals [1]. Information on the relevance of the graded approach to this regulatory document is found in clause 4.4 of CSA N-292.7, Deep geological disposal of radioactive waste and irradiated fuel [2].
