Mon nom est Rumina Velshi. Je suis la présidente de la Commission canadienne de sûreté nucléaire. I would like to begin by recognizing that our participants today are located in many different parts of the country. I will pause for a few seconds in silence so that each of us can acknowledge the Treaty and/or traditional territory for our locations. Please take this time to provide your gratitude and acknowledgement for the land. Je vous souhaite la bienvenue, and welcome to all those joining us via Zoom or webcast. I would like to introduce the Members of the Commission that are with us today remotely: Dr. Sandor Demeter, Dr. Stephen McKinnon, Dr. Marcel Lacroix, and Dr. Timothy Berube. 2 I also have the pleasure to announce that Ms. Indra Maharaj was appointed by the Governor-in-Council on December 11 as a Commission Member for a term of five years. Congratulations and welcome to the commission. Ms. Maharaj is joining us today is an observer. Mr. Denis Saumure, senior counsel to the Commission, and Mr. Marc Leblanc, Commission Secretary, are also joining us remotely. As always, I would like to begin today's commission meeting with a safety moment, to talk about the recently announced COVID-19-related restrictions across Canada. In response to a doubling in COVID cases over the past three weeks, the real and looming threat of the collapse of the provincial hospital systems and alarming risks posed to long-term care homes as a result of high COVID-19 transmission rates, federal and provincial governments have increased restrictions across the country. We each need to do our bit if we are to save lives and resume normal activities in the not-so-far-distant future. This means following to a T the directions of our provincial governments and the 3 advice of our respective health authorities. How? By working from home if we can, not leaving home unless it is essential to do so, limiting gatherings and travel, wearing masks, washing our hands frequently, getting vaccinated when we can, just to name a few ones. I know that you all know this, but we have to remind ourselves each day that this is good, for our families, our co-workers, our communities, and for our own good. There is light at the end of the tunnel, but still a fairly long way to go and this is the time to raise our game even more. Let's continue to do our part. Thank you. I will now turn the floor to Mr. Leblanc for a few opening remarks. Marc? MR. LEBLANC: Merci, Madame la Présidente. For this Commission meeting, we have simultaneous interpretation. Please keep the pace of your speech relatively slow so that the interpreters are able to keep up. To make the transcripts as complete and clear as possible, please identify yourself each time before you speak. The transcripts should be available on 4 the CNSC website within one to two weeks. I would also like to note that this proceeding is being video webcast live and that archives of these proceedings will be available on our website for a three-month period after the closure of the proceedings. As a courtesy to others, please mute yourself if you are not presenting or answering a question. As usual, the President will be coordinating the questions. During the question period, if you wish to provide an answer or add a comment, please use the Raise Hand function. The Nuclear Safety and Control Act authorizes the Commission to hold meetings for the conduct of its business.

The minutes are available upon request to the Secretariat and will be available on the CNSC website in both official languages at a later date. The minutes of the December Commission meeting will be presented for approval at a later date. The next item on the agenda is the status report on power reactors, as outlined in CMD 21-M7. I note that we have representatives from the nuclear power industry and CNSC staff joining us for this item. They can identify themselves later, before speaking. Dr. Viktorov, the floor is yours. 7 CMD 21-M7 Oral presentation by CNSC staff MR. VIKTOROV: Thank you. Good morning, Madam President and Members of the Commission. For the record, my name is Alexandre Viktorov. I am the Director General of the Directorate of Power Reactor Regulations. With me today are other regulatory and technical managers and specialists available to respond to your questions. The status report on power reactors, CMD 21-M7, was finalized on January 7. The following are updates reflecting changes since that date. For Bruce, Unit 1 was shut down for a planned maintenance outage. For Darlington, Unit 2 is now at 80% full power and is returning to full power following the outage to remove a fuelling machine stuck on channel. For Pickering, Units 1 and 6 have returned to full power. And Unit 8 was shut down for a planned maintenance outage. One COVID-19 case was reported under REGDOC-3.1.1, reporting criteria. For Point Lepreau, on Saturday, January 16th, the plant was taken offline. A steam rupture disk on the secondary side failed which led to 8 steam venting through the rupture disk to the atmosphere and a loud noise. The plant responded to the transient as designed and there were no injuries nor radioactive releases to the environment. Investigations and repairs by New Brunswick Power are currently in progress. CNSC staff completed inspections and verified that Point Lepreau staff have established a rod-based guaranteed shutdown state and are maintaining the availability of heat sinks as per procedures. CNSC staff also confirmed that the work areas for possible repairs are being prepared in accordance with the requirements. CNSC staff will continue to monitor the situation. This concludes the Status Report update on Power Reactors. CNSC staff are available to answer any questions that the Commission may have. Thank you. THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, Dr. Viktorov. I'll now open the floor for questions from the Commission Members to staff and licensees. We'll start with Dr. Demeter. MEMBER DEMETER: Thank you very much. I did have a question on the Darlington part of the report. I'll just read the sentence here and ask the question. This is in regards to the isolation of 9 the fuel channels.

  • SAFETY RE-ASSESSMENT of AECL TEST and RESEARCH REACTORS D. J. WINFIELD Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories ATOMIC ENERGY of CANADA
    309 IAEA-SM-310/ 94 SAFETY RE-ASSESSMENT OF AECL TEST AND RESEARCH REACTORS D. J. WINFIELD Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories ATOMIC ENERGY OF CANADA LIMITED 310 IAEA-SM-310/94 SAFETY RE-ASSESSMENT OF AECL TEST AND RESEARCH REACTORS ABSTRACT Atomic Energy of Canada Limited currently has four operating engineering test/research reactors of various sizes and ages; a new isotope-production reactor MAPLE-X10, under construction at Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories (CRNL), and a heating demonstration/test reactor, SDR, undergoing high-power commissioning at Whiteshell Nuclear Research Establishment (WNRE). The company is also performing design studies of small reactors for hot water and electricity production. The older reactors are ZED-2, PTR, NRX and NRU; these range in age from 42 years (NRX) to 29 years (ZED-2). Since 1984, limited-scope safety re-assessments have been underway on three of these reactors (ZED-2, NRX and NRU). ZED-2 and PTR are operated by the Reactor Physics Branch, all other reactors are operated by the respective site Reactor Operations Branches. For the older reactors the original safety reports produced were entirely deterministic in nature and based on the design-basis accident concept. The limited scope safety re-assessments for these older reactors, carried out over the past 5 years, have comprised both quantitative probabilistic safety-assessment techniques, such as event tree and fault tree analysis, and/or qualitative techniques, such as failure mode and effect analysis. The technique used for an individual assessment was dependent upon the specific scope required. This paper discusses the types of analyses carried out, specific insights/recommendations resulting from the analysis and indicates the plan for future analysis.

  • Annual Report 2020
    ANNUAL REPORT 2020 1 Photo credits 2 Foreword On 1 June 1960, the newly established Supply Agency of the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) started operations, ensuring that all users in the Community received a regular and equitable supply of ores and nuclear fuel. In 2020, the Agency celebrated 60 years of continued operations, demonstrating its resilience, its ability to adapt and its determination to modernise itself. When the COVID-19 crisis hit in March, we protected ESA’s most valuable asset: its staff. The lockdown united us in keeping the spirit of a common effort focused on the Agency’s core objectives and values. The transition to remote working was accompanied by introduction of new working methods, which allowed us to deliver in this challenging time on all the critical core processes: managing nuclear fuel contracts, facilitating the supply chain of medical radioisotopes and analysing market data. The meetings of the Advisory Committee and of the European Observatory on the Supply of Medical Radioisotopes, which were for the first time ever conducted in a remote format, enabled efficient communication and decision-making, as did many meetings with our partners and stakeholders. Our response to the limitations created by the coronavirus pandemic was to take it as an enforced opportunity to accelerate the adoption of new technologies to cut red tape. We expedited investment in the Noemi application that will, for years to come, securely host data from contracts for the supply of nuclear materials and related services. This new IT system will also greatly improve monitoring of the nuclear energy market and production of reports from aggregated data.
