About the impact statement phase
The proponent develops its impact statement. The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC), along with the public and Indigenous Peoples, review the proponent’s Impact Statement. The proponent addresses concerns or missing information.
The CNSC’s role in the impact statement phase includes, in collaboration with the IAAC:
- develop the panel’s terms of reference
- review the proponent’s impact statement
Engagement
The CNSC recognizes the importance of engaging and building relationships with the public living near existing or proposed nuclear facilities and with other interested parties.
Public information and disclosure program
CNSC regulations ensure that licensees communicate information effectively about activities at licensed facilities that are of interest to the public.
