Description
During the course of providing regulatory control over nuclear substances, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) from time to time has identified sources without an owner or a responsible party. In 2011, after completing a review of its regulatory oversight with respect to orphan sources, the CNSC put in place a strategy that is based on promotion and communication, prevention, and response and recovery of orphan sources. The paper describes the challenges that have occurred during the development of the strategy and the lessons learned during the implementation phase. (author)
