The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission is accepting written comments as part of its annual review of Bruce Power’s safety performance.
The Tiverton-based nuclear operator says in a release CNSC staff prepare regulatory oversight reports each year on nuclear power plant safety performance for all licensed Canadian nuclear facilities. They will be presented during a public meeting in Ottawa on Feb. 25, 2025.
“The reports evaluate licensees’ safety performance across 14 Safety Control Areas (some examples include: Environmental Protection, Radiation Protection, Conventional Health & Safety, Operating Performance, Emergency Management and Fire Protection),” a release from Bruce Power explains. “The CNSC invites Indigenous communities, members of the public and interested parties to comment on the ROR, in writing by Jan. 11, or present comments orally at the public Commission meeting in February.”
Bruce Power’s Vice-President of Regulatory, Environment and Sustainability Mike Rinker: “Our goal is continuous improvement in our industry leading conventional and radiological safety programs, as well as an emergency preparedness program that’s always ready to respond … We continue to be open and transparent with our industry regulator and welcome the opportunity to hear feedback from intervenors as part of this regulatory oversight review process.”
