Participant funding for the Royal Military College of Canada's licence renewal application

This participant funding opportunity is open from June 13 to August 12, 2022.

Participant funding notice

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) will hold a public hearing in April 2023 to consider an application from the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC) to renew the non-power reactor operating licence for its SLOWPOKE-2 facility for a period of 10 years. The RMC SLOWPOKE-2 facility is located in Kingston, Ontario, on the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee Peoples.

The CNSC is offering participant funding to assist Indigenous Nations and communities, members of the public and stakeholders in reviewing RMC’s application and other associated documents, and in participating in the Commission hearing process.

Up to $15,000 in participant funding will be disbursed among all eligible applicants for the provision of new, distinctive and valuable information through informed and topic-specific interventions to the Commission. Funding will be awarded for the review of documentation, including CNSC staff’s documents and RMC’s Commission member documents, and for participation in the public Commission hearing. Funding for travel to the Commission hearing is within the scope of this opportunity. However, due to potential travel restrictions or limitations relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission will announce at a later date whether there will be in-person oral presentations at the hearing.
