Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) is the federal agency responsible for regulating nuclear energy and materials in Canada. Its primary role is to ensure the safety of nuclear facilities and protect public health and the environment from the risks associated with radiation. The CNSC issues licenses for nuclear operations, monitors compliance with safety standards, and conducts assessments to promote safe practices. It also engages with the public and stakeholders to foster transparency and inform them about nuclear activities and safety measures in Canada.
