Today marks the first day of the Integrated Regulatory Review Service (IRRS) mission to Canada, hosted by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC). Coordinated through the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), an IRRS mission offers a unique opportunity for the CNSC to assess its regulatory activities and infrastructure against international standards and best practices. The mission will run from September 3 to 13, 2019.

• This is the second full IRRS mission for the CNSC; a previous mission was conducted in 2009.
  

• The IRRS approach is based on a self-assessment and is designed to support continuous improvement.
  

• IRRS mission team members are experts in their fields and are recruited from IAEA Member States.
