Found 10 records similar to Lost, Stolen and Found Sealed Sources and Radiation Devices
The accompanying dataset contains all transactions catalogued in the Sealed Source Tracking System for the 2017 calendar year. The SSTS is used in conjunction with the National Sealed Source Registry to track and report the movement of high- and very high-risk sealed sources within Canada. Sealed sources are radioactive nuclear substances that are encapsulated or bonded to a cover to prevent the loss of radioactive contents. Sealed sources are used in a variety of medical, industrial, commercial and academic and research applications.
An important part of reducing risk to CNSC employees is by clearly communicating with licensees about our expectations and the Government of Canada’s Workplace Harassment and Violence Prevention Regulations. We are taking a proactive stance against workplace harassment and violence by informing licensees that behaviours and actions that may cause harm or injury to CNSC employees will not be tolerated. Although no specific incidents with licensees have been reported under the new regulations, it is important that we share our expectations with all CNSC-regulated organizations.

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC), formerly the Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB), has legislative control of nuclear fuel cycle materials and man-made radionuclides. However, naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) is exempt from CNSC jurisdiction except for the import, export and transport of the material. Therefore, jurisdiction over use and radiation exposure to NORM rests with each Canadian province and territory.
Nuclear licensees operate across Canada. This includes uranium mines and mills, uranium processing facilities, nuclear power plants, research reactors, particle accelerators, and nuclear substances processing facilities. All of these facilities are licensed by the CNSC and are subject to strict regulatory oversight to ensure the safety of the public and the environment.
The objective of the Independent Environmental Monitoring Program (IEM) is to build Indigenous and public trust in the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission's (CNSC) regulation of the nuclear industry, via an independent, technical and accessible environmental sampling program around nuclear facilities, while using CNSC resources effectively and efficiently.
