The two main pieces of legislation overseeing the long-term management of nuclear fuel waste are the Nuclear Safety and Control Act (NSC Act) administered by the CNSC, and the Nuclear Fuel Waste Act (NFW Act) administered by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). Both pieces of legislation complement each other in meeting Government of Canada policy oversight objectives for the long-term management of nuclear fuel waste consistent with its 1996 Policy Framework for Radioactive Waste.
