CNSC Draft REGDOC 2.4.5 Nuclear Fuel Safety

Abstract of the technical paper/presentation presented at: 15th International Conference on CANDU Fuel

Prepared by: W. Grant
Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission

Abstract:

CNSC staff have developed REGDOC 2.4.5 Nuclear Fuel Safety to codify regulatory requirements and guidance.  The primary objective of the regulatory document was to clarify requirements for existing and new CANDU fuel designs.  The secondary objective was to remain as technology neutral as practically achievable in order to be applicable to new innovative fuel designs.  The REGDOC covers the fuel program, design, qualification, fitness for service, monitoring and inspection, and operating limits and conditions.
