Environment related objective
|
To establish a comprehensive regulatory control system for the import, export, transfer, possession and use of nuclear substances
The purpose of the NSCA is two-fold: (i) to provide for the limitation of risks to national security, the health and safety of persons and the environment that are associated with the development, production and use of nuclear energy and the production, possession and use of nuclear substances, prescribed equipment and prescribed information; and (ii) to provide for the implementation in Canada of measures to which Canada has agreed regarding international control of the development, production and use of nuclear energy , including the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons and nuclear explosive devices. Nuclear substances are defined in the NSCA (section 2), and include uranium, thorium, plutonium, deuterium and their respective derivatives and compounds, radioactive nuclides, and substances that are prescribed by regulation as being capable of releasing nuclear energy or as being required for the production or use of nuclear energy . Additionally, the NNIECR define controlled nuclear substances, controlled nuclear equipment and controlled nuclear information that are subject to specific import and export licensing controls, and list these in the Schedule to the regulations. These items are controlled for the purpose of assuring that the Government of Canada meets international obligations to which it has agreed regarding the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons; they are based primarily on international guidelines and control lists. There are some exemptions from licensing requirement and these are identified in the NNIECR (section 4) .
