Nuclear criticality safety.: CC172-63/2020E-PDF

"This regulatory document is part of the CNSC's safety analysis series of regulatory documents, which also covers deterministic safety analysis and probabilistic safety assessment. … Regulatory document REGDOC-2.4.3, Nuclear Criticality Safety, sets out requirements for nuclear criticality safety and provides guidance on how those requirements may be met. It provides information for the prevention of criticality accidents in the handling, storage, processing and transportation of fissionable materials and the long-term management of nuclear waste. This document clarifies the minimum physical constraints and limits on fissionable materials in order to ensure nuclear criticality safety during the construction, operation, decommissioning, or abandonment of the licensed facility and with respect to the handling, storing, processing and transportation of certain fissionable materials. It applies to operations with fissionable materials outside nuclear reactors, except for the assembly of these materials under controlled conditions (such as in critical experiments)"--Preface, page i.
