Annex A: Safety and Control Area Ratings for OPG Sites

*PNGS and DNGS 2019 Ratings: CNSC staff assigned “satisfactory” ratings for all SCAs at the PNGS and DNGS in 2019. Although CNSC staff did identify various examples of excellent safety performance, and instances of meeting and/or exceeding regulatory requirements in 2019, CNSC staff did not assign “fully satisfactory” ratings at the SCA level (this contrasts with the regulatory oversight for 2018, where the PNGS and DNGS received multiple “fully satisfactory ratings”). This was strictly because of a lack of opportunity (due to the COVID-19 pandemic) for staff to assure the consistent applications of criteria for “fully satisfactory” ratings across all SCAs - it does not reflect, in itself, a decline in safety at the PNGS and DNGS in 2019.
