Summary

This document is the second version, and supersedes CNSC guidance documents G-208, Transportation Security Plans for Category I, II, or III Nuclear Material, and G-274, Security Programs for Category I or II Nuclear Material or Certain Nuclear Facilities, and REGDOC-2.12.3, Security of Nuclear Substances: Sealed Sources.

Part A of this document sets out the minimum security measures that licensees must implement to prevent the loss, sabotage, illegal use, illegal possession or illegal removal of sealed sources during their entire lifecycle, including while the sources are in storage, transport or being stored during transportation.

Part B contains the revised content from CNSC guidance documents G-208, Transportation Security Plans for Category I, II or III Nuclear Material and G-274, Security Programs for Category I or II Nuclear Material or Certain Nuclear Facilities. These documents have been merged into REGDOC-2.12.3, Version 2 as part of the CNSC’s commitment to create a regulatory document framework that combines all of its existing documents clearly and logically, according to regulated facilities and activities, safety and control areas, and other areas of regulatory interest.

REGDOC-2.12.3, Security of Nuclear Substances: Sealed Sources and Category I, II and III Nuclear Material, Version 2, supersedes:

  • REGDOC-2.12.3, Security of Nuclear Substances: Sealed Sources (2013) | (PDF)
  • G-208, Transportation Security Plans for Category I, II or III Nuclear Material | (PDF)
  • G-274, Security Programs for Category I or II Nuclear Material or Certain Nuclear Facilities | (PDF)

Version 2.1 includes administrative updates so that references to the International Atomic Energy Agency’s SSR-6, Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material, reflect the 2018 edition.

Status:
