Canadian national report for the convention on nuclear safety. Second review meeting

The Canadian National Report is prepared in fulfilment of Canada's obligation pursuant to Article 5 of the Convention on Nuclear Safety coordinated by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The report demonstrates how Canada has implemented it obligations under the Convention. This report has been prepared for the Second Review Meeting on the Convention on Nuclear Safety and is self-containing so that the reader does not have to refer to Canada's First Report to the Convention on Nuclear Safety. The report follows closely the guidelines, regarding form and structure, that were established by the contracting parties under Article 22 of the Convention. In addition, two sections are provided in the introduction to the report to address the basic safety of nuclear power stations. These sections reflect the historical development of the nuclear industry in Canada, and the uniqueness of the CANDU design. (author)
