Radiation Protection Program Development

Candesco staff have:

  • Developed the radiation protection program for the construction      of the used fuel Dry Storage Container handling facilities      located in and adjacent to the Secondary Irradiated Fuel Bay at      Bruce NGS B.
  • Developed the radiation protection program for the      characterization, repackaging and removal of low and      intermediate level radioactive wastes from temporary storage      locations in Canada and overseas.
  • Developed and established the radiation protection and an      environmental monitoring program for the design of ITER.      Rolled-out the radiation protection program to designers and      institutionalized the program elements in the design process.
  • RADIATION PROTECTION FOR ONTARIO HYDRO NUCLEAR:

    Candesco staff revised the Ontario Hydro Nuclear Radiation Protection Policy & Program and several procedures in preparation for the proclamation of the Nuclear Safety and Control Act and Regulations. This work ensured that OHN governing documents would be compliant with regulatory requirements at the time of the proclamation of the new Act and the creation of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission.

    Challenge

  • Ensure the current set of documentation governing radiation      protection is self-consistent and consistent with the      proposed regulations.
  • Create a process to maintain consistency in the future,      recognizing that changes will occasionally be made.
  • Solution

  • Re-develop the documents beginning with the policy, then the      program prior to preparing the individual procedures.
  • Ensure that for each document, the “regulatory basis” for      specific policies, program elements or procedural      requirements is defined. Future revisions would then require      that changes would be assessed against the basis given.
  • Outcome

  • Client able to easily maintain documents in line with      regulations and governing documents are kept self-consistent      throughout revisions.
