Document description
Licensees possessing nuclear material (uranium, thorium, and plutonium) are required to report their holdings, and any inventory changes, to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC). The CNSC uses these reports to establish a national system of accounts for nuclear material.
This guidance document provides information on how the requirements set out in regulatory document RD‑336 Accounting and Reporting of Nuclear Material may be met, including information on nuclear material accounting reports and request forms and detailed instructions on how to complete them.
Licensees whose activities include uranium, plutonium and thorium and whose licence identifies compliance with AECB-1049 as a requirement must comply with these requirements as of January 1, 2011.
Steps ahead
- CNSC is tentatively planning to conduct information sessions in August and September 2010 to answer any questions on the application and usage of GD-336.
