Description

The radioactive waste from operating CANDU reactors contains C-14 activity concentration high in comparison to light-water reactors. The major contribution of the total effective dose summarized for all exposure pathways after the post closure period of Saligny repository is associated with C-14. This paper contains a brief description of the regulatory review process for licensing of a near surface repository, as well as a regulatory review of C-14 inventory. Also, the paper includes the regulatory review of human intrusion scenarios presented by ANDRAD in the safety assessment report, and the Regulatory Authority justification for dose constraint of 1 mSv/year associated with C-14 imposed by license.
