[All] Fw: How does the CNSC define safety?

[Louisette Lanteigne]

Hi folks

This is a VERY interesting topic. Who defines "safety". What does it mean and how are standards set?  This email from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Council has a link that reveals concepts which likely apply to many issues at the local, provincial or federal levels. Good food for thought.

Subject: How does the CNSC define safety?
 

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) has recently received inquiries about its definition of safety as it relates to the regulation of the nuclear industry. To respond to these third-party inquiries and comments, read how the CNSC defines safety in order to carry out its mandate.
