Regulatory & Licensing Information

Regulatory Documents

Acts, regulations, licences and directives administered by the CNSC establish nuclear regulatory requirements. The CNSC provides instruction, assistance and information on these requirements, in the form of Regulatory Documents.

Four different types of Regulatory Documents have been developed by the CNSC. For more information on specific documents, please refer to:

Regulatory Document Framework

The regulatory document framework supports the regulatory activities at the CNSC. It is a matrix of service lines and safety areas. The matrix is presented in three development statuses. The status of each document is typically either:

  • "Current", which means it has been approved and published; (PDF)
  • "In Progress", which identifies it as being under development; and (PDF)
  • "Future Work", which represents documents that have been recommended by the Regulatory Documents Steering Committee (RDSC) for development during the next fiscal year. (PDF)
