Background In an article titled "Repatriation of HEU from Canada to USA" dated 18 January 2021 and published in Nuclear Engineering International (see here: https://www.neimagazine.com/news/newsrepatriation-of-heu-from-canada-to-usa-8458729), it described a "recently completed campaign of used nuclear fuel from the National Research Universal and National Research Experimental research reactors" We request the following information: 1. Confirmation that the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission was notified of these shipments in advance and provided authorization 2. Identification of the license or other arrangement under which authorization was provided. 3. A description of how the Duty to Consult with Indigenous peoples was fulfilled with respect to these shipments 4. A statement of the volume / weight of the used nuclear fuel from each of the National Research Universal and National Research Experimental research reactors 5. A copy of the the certification of the container used for the shipment of the used nuclear fuel from each National Research Universal and National Research Experimental research reactors Please note that with respect to items 4 and 5 we are not requesting any information which would pose a security threat or risk, such as identifying vehicles / carriers for future shipments.Organization: Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission

Req # A-2019-00038
REQUEST. Provide access to any and all Station Blackout Reports (SBOs) in 2003 and emerging IRS Reports generated by the CNSC pertaining to the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station “A” (units I to 4) and the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station “B” (units 5 to 8). 2003 STATION BLACKOUT (SBO) AT NUCLEAR POWER PLANT. BACKGROUND. A station blackout is defined as a plant condition with complete loss of all AC power from the preferred offsite AC sources, from the main generator and from standby AC power sources important to safety to the essential and nonessential switchgear buses. DC power supplies and uninterruptible AC 34 power supplies may be available as long as batteries can supply the loads. Alternate AC power supplies are available. SBOs have traditionally been underreported but according to the IAEA, these are occurring at frequencies above that what traditionally would be considered as normal. There are several safety aspects associated with SBO events which may lead to the deterioration of key safety functions. An SBO event can lead to a severe accident if there are complications in the restoration of electrical power to plant buses within the coping time. The loss of grid is generally an initiating event and coincidental failure of onsite AC power supplies results in an SBO.Organization: Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission

The documentation requested is with respect to two certification processes: 1. The technical review and any other review(s) undertaken by the CNSC in relation to the certification by the CNSC of a transport package design. CDN/2052/B(U)-96 (Rev. 7), including but not limited to CNSC File 30-H1-118-0 dated July 29, 2013. 2. The technical review and any other review(s) undertaken by the CNSC in relation to the re-certification by the CNSC of a transport package design.
