        power reactor

        power reactor means a nuclear reactor with the capacity to produce over 1 400 MW of thermal power to be used in the production of electricity or heat for commercial purposes. (réacteur de puissance)

        reactor of less than 1 MW

        reactor of less than 1 MW means a nuclear reactor, other than a commercial reactor of 1 400 MW or less, with the capacity to produce less than 1 MW of thermal power. (réacteur de moins de 1 MW)

        reactor of 1 MW to 7 MW

        reactor of 1 MW to 7 MW means a nuclear reactor, other than a commercial reactor of 1 400 MW or less, with the capacity to produce from 1 MW to 7 MW of thermal power, inclusive. (réacteur de 1 MW à 7 MW)

        reactor of over 7 MW

        reactor of over 7 MW means a nuclear reactor, other than a commercial reactor of 1 400 MW or less or a power reactor, with the capacity to produce more than 7 MW of thermal power. (réacteur de plus de 7 MW)

      • (2) Section 1 of the Regulations is amended by adding the following in alphabetical order:

        commercial reactor of 1 400 MW or less
