CNSC regulations require that each nuclear power plant, also called nuclear generating stations, undertake all reasonable precautions to protect the environment and the health and safety of persons, including identifying, controlling and monitoring the release of nuclear substances to the environment. CNSC staff verifies that licensees have programs in place to identify, control and monitor gaseous and liquid releases of nuclear substances to the environment. CNSC staff assesses environmental performance by reviewing, among other indicators, release monitoring data and public radiation doses.
