Convention on Nuclear Safety

The Convention on Nuclear Safety requires each Contracting Party to submit national reports for peer review and attend review meetings held in Vienna every 3 years. The reports outline how the Contracting Party implements its obligations under the Convention.

Canada's National Reports demonstrate the firm commitment to nuclear safety and to the Convention's 3 main objectives:
1. to achieve and maintain a high level of nuclear safety through enhancing national measures and technical cooperation
2. to establish and maintain effective defences against radiological hazards in nuclear installations, in order to protect people and the environment
3. to prevent nuclear accidents and their consequences
