The participant funding offering for the Regulatory Oversight Report for Canadian Nuclear Power Generating Sites: 2017 is open from April 30, 2018 to June 29, 2018.

Participant funding notice

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) is offering participant funding to assist Indigenous persons, members of the public and stakeholders in reviewing CNSC staff's Regulatory Oversight Report for Canadian Nuclear Power Generating Sites: 2017 and submitting comments, in writing, to the Commission.

The CNSC will hold a public meeting on October 3–4, 2018 in Ottawa, Ontario, during which CNSC staff will present the report to the Commission. The report will provide CNSC staff's assessment of the Canadian nuclear power industry's safety performance during the 2017 calendar year and provide details on the progress of certain regulatory issues and initiatives in 2018. It will also cover the assessment of the safety performance of both nuclear power plants (NPPs) and waste management facilities (WMFs) located at the nuclear power generating sites. For the WMFs, the assessment will cover both the 2016 and the 2017 calendar years.

Participant funding up to $35,000 is being offered for the provision of new, distinctive and valuable information, through informed and topic-specific written submissions to the Commission.
