The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) has published regulatory document REGDOC-3.1.2, Reporting Requirements, Volume I: Non-Power Reactor Class I Nuclear Facilities and Uranium Mines and Mills . A consultation period was held from July 11 to November 9, 2016.

REGDOC-3.1.2 sets out common requirements and guidance for annual compliance and event reporting for all non-power reactor Class I facilities and uranium mines and mills.

REGDOC-3.1.2 is part of the Reporting requirements series of the CNSC's regulatory framework, which also covers reporting requirements for operating nuclear power plants. REGDOC-3.1.2 supersedes the following regulatory documents: R-89, The Preparation of Reports of a Significant Event at a Uranium Processing or Uranium Handling Facility; R-27, Preparation of an Annual Compliance Report for a Uranium Fuel Fabrication Plant; R-26, Preparation of a Quarterly Health Physics Compliance Report for a Uranium Fuel Fabrication Plant; and R-25, Preparation of a Quarterly Report on the Operation of a Uranium Refinery or Uranium Chemical Conversion Facility.

The CNSC regulates the use of nuclear energy and materials to protect the health, safety and security 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.
