  The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) is asking the public to provide their comments on discussion paper DIS-14-02, Modernizing the CNSC's Regulations.
  In keeping with best practices for regulators, the CNSC has initiated a review of its body of regulations to verify that they continue to be clear, effective, and structured as efficiently as possible. This document seeks early stakeholder input that the CNSC will consider and that will help inform how the project progresses.

  The CNSC regulates the use of nuclear energy and materials to protect the health, safety and security of Canadians and the environment; to implement Canada's international commitments on the peaceful use of nuclear energy; and to disseminate objective scientific, technical and regulatory information to the public.
