Subject: CNSC Releases Draft Study for Public Review: Study of Consequences of a Hypothetical Severe Nuclear Accident and Effectiveness of Mitigation Measures
 

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) has released for public review its draft study entitled Study of Consequences of a Hypothetical Severe Nuclear Accident and Effectiveness of Mitigation Measures.

The study focuses on the assessment of health impacts of a hypothetical, unlikely scenario of a severe nuclear accident. Various scenarios were assessed, where radioactive releases happen without full consideration of multiple safety systems at Canadian nuclear power plants. Had all of the Fukushima Task Force enhancements been fully considered in the study, the likelihood of a severe accident would have been practically eliminated.

The study is available for public comment until August 29, 2014. Copies may be requested and comments can be submitted through info at cnsc-ccsn.gc.ca.
