The Accelerators and Class II Facilities Division (ACFD) of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC), is responsible for the oversight of radiotherapy facilities containing Class II prescribed equipment in Canada. Over the past several years, ACFD has been performing compliance inspections of Class II nuclear facilities across the country (medical and otherwise), and in that time, has issued several hundred corrective actions to licensees due to non‐compliance with regulatory requirements. Recently, a study was done to determine the most common regulatory non‐compliances. The purpose of this poster presentation is to disseminate information to the licensee community about the nature of these non‐compliances, and how they can be avoided by licensees in the future.
