Perhaps more than any other industry, the nuclear sector’s environmental performance is strongly connected to public trust. Earning that trust requires effective and responsible environmental management, regular, transparent reporting, and public engagement. These objectives are supported by a series of inter-connected CSA Group standards developed and updated over 50 years through collaborative work between the nuclear regulator, utility operators, industry and academic experts, and communities.

This case study outlines the standards, their development, and the value they provide to support safe, sustainable, transparent nuclear operations.
