The public is encouraged to watch the public meeting on-line to observe the CNSC staff report on nuclear power plant and nuclear waste facility safety performance, and the public participation with the CNSC. Meeting materials, including the regulatory oversight reports and intervenor submissions, can be found here.

Bruce Power is dedicated to connecting with the community in an open, transparent and meaningful way. It is committed to conducting business ethically, respectfully, safely and with professionalism, and members of the public can visit the Community Portal to engage directly. In keeping with the regulatory requirements of the CNSC, Bruce Power has a public disclosure protocol supported by a managed system to ensure high standards of performance, compliance and ongoing effectiveness improvements.

CNSC staff will present its assessment of nuclear power plants and nuclear waste facility safe operations and performance to the CNSC during a public meeting as part of the nuclear industry regulator’s annual regulatory oversight review. The CNSC has a presence at each nuclear station in Canada, and CNSC staff members have continuous access to inspect Bruce Power’s stations and review its activities.

Each year, CNSC staff prepare regulatory oversight reports on nuclear power plant safety performance for all licensed Canadian nuclear facilities for the previous year, which are presented to the CNSC during a public meeting. The reports evaluate licensees’ safety performance across 14 Safety Control Areas (some examples include: environmental protection, radiation protection, conventional health and safety, operating performance, emergency management and fire protection).

“Safety is Bruce Power’s number one value and our employees are committed to upholding our excellent performance record by performing their work safely and with quality every day,” said James Scongack, chief operating officer and executive vice-president. “We strive for 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 value open and transparent communication with our industry regulator and welcome the opportunity for feedback from intervenors as part of this regulatory oversight review process.”
