This standard is applicable to new and existing passenger rail systems in Canada and may be applied across the lifecycle of transit and rail infrastructure including: planning and design, operation and maintenance, asset management, and emergency preparedness and response.

This standard may be used by a passenger railway entity, an infrastructure manager, a safety authority, or a transit agency that wishes to implement a safety management system or to supervise a safety management system to ensure business objectives are achieved in a safe manner.

This standard is intended for a wide range of stakeholders involved in the planning, operation, and oversight of transit and passenger rail systems, including:

·    Transit agencies, authorities, and passenger rail operators

·    Infrastructure owners and asset managers

·    Municipal, provincial, and federal transportation departments

·    Engineering and planning consultants

·    Emergency management and continuity planners

·    Climate risk analysts and sustainability officers

·    Regulatory bodies and funding agencies

The point of this work is to try to minimize if not avoid risks associated with climate change and therefore, anyone in an organization who wishes to increase their climate resilience may use this standard to help achieve this goal.

1.1 Pre-planning

Pre-planning is a process that prepares the organization to undertake a climate vulnerability and risk assessment and adaptation planning. The process is relevant when an organization initiates climate change adaptation and resilience as well as when an organization reassesses or revises its climate change adaptation and resilience strategy. Pre-planning involves assessing, and where necessary establishing, the capability of the organization to undertake adaptation and resilience as well as identifying interested parties and how it engages with them.

The organization may establish, implement and maintain an adaptation policy or an adaptation component of its safety policy. Incorporating adaptation as a component of the organization’s safety policy provides a framework for setting adaptation objectives, boundaries and timescales and facilitates communication regarding adaptation within the organization and to interested parties.

Reference to adaptation within the safety policy shall be appropriate for the purpose and context of the organization, considering relevant legislation and policies or plans and the climate change impacts and vulnerabilities of the applicable transit or passenger rail systems.

1.2 Terminology

In this Standard, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard.

Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.

Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.

Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.

La présente norme s’applique aux nouveaux systèmes ferroviaires de passagers et à ceux existants au Canada et peut s’appliquer tout au long du cycle de vie des infrastructures de transport en commun et de transport ferroviaire, y compris : la planification et la conception, l’exploitation et l’entretien, la gestion des actifs, ainsi que la préparation aux situations d’urgence et comment y remédier.

La présente norme peut être utilisée par une entité ferroviaire qui transporte des passagers, un gestionnaire d’infrastructures, une autorité en matière de sécurité ou une agence de transport en commun souhaitant mettre en place un système de gestion de la sécurité ou superviser un système de gestion de la sécurité afin d’assurer que les objectifs commerciaux sont atteints en toute sécurité.

La présente norme s’adresse à un large éventail de parties intéressées participant à la planification, l’exploitation et la supervision des systèmes ferroviaires de transport en commun et de passagers, notamment :

·    Agences de transport en commun, autorités et exploitants de trains de passagers

·    Propriétaires d’infrastructures et gestionnaires d’actifs

·    Ministères municipaux, provinciaux et fédéraux des transports

·    Ingénieurs-conseils et experts-conseils en planification

·    Planificateurs de la gestion des urgences et de la continuité

·    Analystes des dangers climatiques et responsables de la durabilité

·    Organismes de réglementation et organismes de financement

Le but de ce travail est d’essayer de réduire au minimum, voire d’éviter, les risques associés aux changements climatiques et, par conséquent, toute personne dans un organisme souhaitant accroître sa résilience climatique peut utiliser la présente norme pour aider à atteindre cet objectif.

1.1 Planification préalable

La planification préalable est un processus qui prépare l’organisme à entreprendre une évaluation de la vulnérabilité et du risque climatique ainsi qu’une planification de l’adaptation. Le processus est pertinent lorsqu’un organisme entreprend l’adaptation et la résilience au changement climatique, ainsi que lorsqu’un organisme réévalue ou révise sa stratégie d’adaptation et de résilience au changement climatique. La planification préalable comprend l’évaluation, et au besoin, l’établissement de la capacité de l’organisme à s’adapter et à faire preuve de résilience, ainsi que l’identification des parties intéressées et comment l’organisme interagit avec elles.

L’organisme peut établir, mettre en œuvre et maintenir une politique d’adaptation ou une composante d’adaptation de sa politique de sécurité. L’intégration de l’adaptation comme composante de la politique de sécurité de l’organisme fournit un cadre pour fixer des objectifs, des limites, des échéanciers et faciliter la communication en matière d’adaptation au sein de l’organisme et auprès des parties intéressées.

La référence à l’adaptation dans la politique de sécurité doit être appropriée à l’objectif et au contexte de l’organisme, en tenant compte de la législation et des politiques ou plans pertinents ainsi que des répercussions du changement climatique sur les systèmes ferroviaires de passagers et de transport en commun, de même que des vulnérabilités de ces systèmes en ce qui a trait aux changements climatiques.

1.2 Terminologie

Dans la présente norme, le terme « doit » indique une exigence, c.-à-d., une prescription que l’utilisateur est obligé de respecter pour assurer la conformité à la présente norme; « devrait » indique une recommandation ou ce qui est conseillé, mais non obligatoire; et « peut » indique une option ou ce qui est permis compte tenu des limites de la présente norme.

Les notes qui accompagnent les articles ne comprennent pas d’exigences ni d’autres exigences; le but d’une note accompagnant un article est de séparer du texte les éléments explicatifs ou informatifs.

Les notes au bas des tableaux et des figures font partie du tableau ou de la figure et peuvent être rédigées comme des exigences.

Les annexes sont qualifiées de normatives (obligatoires) ou d’informatives (facultatives) pour en préciser l’application.

1.1 General

This Standard defines requirements for the periodic inspection of pressure retaining systems, components, and supports that form part of a CANDU nuclear power plant.

Periodic inspection (see Annex A for additional guidance) is considered to include the fluid boundary portions of components and piping, including their supports that comprise

systems containing fluid that directly transports heat from nuclear fuel and other systems whose failure can result in a significant release of radioactive substance;

systems essential for the safe shutdown of the reactor or the safe cooling of the fuel, or both, in the event of a process system failure; and

other systems or components whose failure could jeopardize the integrity of the systems described in Item a) or b), or both.

In addition, for components exposed to conditions beyond the known experience base, and where such components constitute part of a vital system, the components may be considered suitable for inclusion in the periodic inspection program as supplementary periodic inspections.

1.2 Inclusions

This Standard addresses

failure aspects;

classification of areas subject to periodic inspection;

provision for access;

examination methods and procedures;

personnel qualifications;

frequency of periodic inspection;

responsibilities;

documentation;

records;

evaluation of periodic inspection results;

dispositioning; and

repair, replacement, and modification requirements.

1.3 Terminology

In this Standard, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the Standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard.

Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.

Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.

Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.

1.4 Application of Standard

The requirements of this periodic inspection standard are applicable to the operational phase of nuclear power plant, until the fuel is removed from the entire reactor core and up to the time at which systems for cooling of the fuel are drained for the purpose of decommissioning of the reactor core.

 

This periodic inspection standard does contain requirements for providing access to components for pre-service and in-service examinations (part of the periodic inspection program), and hence the requirements of this standard should be taken into account during plant design and construction.

 

This periodic inspection standard does contain provisions for crediting of manufacturing and installation examinations as a baseline record for the periodic inspection program, and hence the requirements of this standard should be taken into account during plant construction.

 

This periodic inspection standard is not applicable to the decommissioning phase of the nuclear power plant life cycle.
