In April 2011, the CNSC Executive Vice-President and Chief Regulatory Operations Officer convened a task force to review the licensees’ responses to the 12(2) request and evaluate the operational, technical and regulatory implications of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident for the Canadian NPPs. [...] At the May 3, 2012 public meeting, the Commission requested that CNSC staff broaden the draft CNSC Action Plan to better integrate the EAC recommendations – in particular, to clarify the outcomes of the Fukushima reviews for nuclear facilities other than NPPs, examine areas of human and organizational performance, and to address crisis communication. [...] Public consultations After the preparation of the draft Task Force report, the CNSC embarked on a series of public consultations to seek additional input and create broader public awareness of the nuclear accident and to engage stakeholders in the development of measures to address the lessons learned from the accident. [...] The CNSC Action Plan was based on the findings and recommendations of the CNSC Fukushima Task Force Report, which led to the development of specific actions for licensees and the CNSC, aimed at strengthening defence in depth, enhancing emergency response, improving the regulatory framework and enhancing international collaboration. [...] The CNSC management has endorsed the findings and recommendations of the Task Force, and has committed to addressing each recommendation through the actions outlined in this CNSC Integrated Action Plan, together with those of the EAC.
