Summary: This presentation delves into the history and role of safety analysis (cases) in the Canadian nuclear industry. It explorers the origin and evolution of safety cases, and their significance in ensuring robust risk mitigation, setting operational constraints and limits, for nuclear sites. We highlight the importance of safety cases for not simply ensuring regulatory compliance, but also the highest standard of risk mitigation and being a truly live document rather than being hidden away in a draw. The audience will see examples of worldwide safety cases, gain knowledge on industry best practice as well as potential directions and evolution of safety cases in the future.
