New penalty added for failing to keep nuclear import/export records under licence

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted

The schedule of violations subject to administrative monetary penalties under nuclear safety rules has been updated. A new Category A penalty item now applies to anyone who fails to retain records related to imports or exports made under a nuclear licence for the required period. This change brings the previously pending amendment into the consolidated, in-force text of the regulations. Nuclear licence holders involved in importing or exporting controlled nuclear substances should ensure their record-retention practices meet the specified timeframes to avoid financial penalties. The existing Category B violation for failing to submit export reports to the Commission remains in place.
