A Proposal tor Evolution of Safety and Licensing Criteria

Abstract

Relationships between the major participants in the nuclear safety management system are examined. Convergent goals are sought for each participant. The objective is to provide a basis for productive evolution of the system of nuclear station licensing in


Canada. It is concluded that concentrating on careful examination of plant process failures in operating stations would serve the interests of all participants in the positive manner and make an important contribution to the assurance of public safety.
