Regulation 64

Every pre‑disposal radioactive waste management facility (called in this regulation the facility) must be constructed in accordance with the design as described in the safety assessment and approved by the Director‑General.

Where the commissioning of the facility is carried out in several stages, the commissioning of every stage is subject to the review and approval of the Director‑General.

Upon the completion of commissioning of the facility, the approved person must submit a final commissioning report to the Director‑General and ensure that the safety assessment is updated, as necessary, to reflect the as‑built status of the facility and the conclusions of the commissioning report.

A modification of an existing facility with significant safety implications that requires a revision of the safety assessment is subject to the same requirements and approvals under these Regulations as are applicable for a new facility.

Every facility must be operated in accordance with every condition, limitation or exception that is imposed by the Director‑General.

All operations and activities related to the facility and important to safety are subject to documented limits, conditions and controls, and must be carried out by trained, qualified and competent personnel.

Every facility must be regularly maintained so as to ensure its safe performance.
