Document History of REGDOC-2.3.1, Conduct of Licensed Activities: Construction and Commissioning Programs
View [HTML version of REGDOC-2.3.1, Construction and Commissioning] [PDF version of REGDOC-2.3.1, Construction and Commissioning]
Summary
REGDOC-2.3.1, Conduct of Licensed Activities: Construction and Commissioning Programs, sets out requirements and guidance for the construction and commissioning of facilities in Canada that use nuclear reactors. These facilities (referred to as "reactor facilities" in this document) include:
- nuclear power plants (NPPs) or small reactors for the generation of power or heat for industrial process
- small reactors for non-power-generation uses (e.g., isotope production, and research and development activities)
The requirements and guidance in this document apply primarily to NPPs. However, the principles behind the requirements and guidance are equally applicable to smaller facilities in a risk-informed (graded) manner, and should be considered in the overall safety case for any reactor facility.
