Power Your Career

For more than 60 years, our facilities have operated in an extremely safe manner. The health and safety of our workers, members of the public and the environment are our number one priority.  

We are subject to inspection by numerous regulatory agencies at the federal, provincial and local government levels, including: 

  • Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) 
  • Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) 
  • Transport Canada 
  • International Atomic Energy Agency 
  • Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) 

Annual Compliance Reports

Each year, we submit Annual Compliance Reports to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission

Detailed performance information is available in these reports, which demonstrates that BWXT has successfully met the requirements of the Nuclear Safety and Control Act.
