Creation of an External Advisory Review Committee for Lessons Learned From the Fukushima Nuclear Incident
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 08/09/11 -- The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) has established an external advisory committee to assess the organization's processes and responses in light of the lessons learned from the Fukushima nuclear incident, which has highlighted the importance of nuclear safety around the world.
Committee members will review the CNSC's processes including the immediate response to the Fukushima incident, its connections with the rest of government and international organizations and its interactions with the Canadian nuclear sector and its regulated industries. They will also review the CNSC's communications with affected stakeholders, including governments, other nuclear regulators, and the public. Finally the committee will assess the implications on the CNSC's regulatory approaches resulting from the international response to Fukushima, such as international stress tests and the International Atomic Energy Agency action plan.
"This committee is comprised of independent experts in energy, innovation, engineering, governance and safety from outside of the nuclear sector," said CNSC President, Michael Binder. "Thanks to the quality and diversity of their respective expertise, they will bring a distinct perspective to the analysis of the situation. I look forward to their findings."
Committee members are:
The Committee will provide CNSC's President with its report and recommendations early in 2012.
