REGDOC-1.1.5: Supplemental Information for Small Modular Reactor Proponents

REGDOC-1.1.5 is a new regulatory document from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, published on 2026-05-11. It provides supplemental information to three other CNSC documents (REGDOC-1.1.1, RD/GD 369, and REGDOC-1.1.3) that set requirements for SMR licence applications. The document also identifies the CNSC's considerations for assessing the adequacy of a licence application.

Use Cases

• Prepare a licence application for an SMR based on the supplemental guidance.
• Understand regulatory expectations for SMR projects based on the CNSC's considerations.
• Cross-reference requirements across multiple CNSC regulatory documents.

Strengths

• Published by the authoritative Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission.
• Specifically addresses the emerging field of small modular reactors.
• Intended for use alongside three other established regulatory documents.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic or regulatory bias inherent to the Canadian context.
