-----Original Message----From: Dr Alistair Baillie Sent: Friday, December 10, 2010 6:03 PM To: Consultation Subject: Comment(s) on 2.1 section of GD-99.3: Guide to the Requirements for Public Information and Disclosure document Comment: I note the guidance that a program may not be required for a cancer treatment centre. I think it is generally appropriate that a cancer centre would be exempt except in special circumstances when a building housing a radiation facility is created or expanded. However I think this should be made explicit in the guidance. The use of the word 'may' will make it very hard for the RSO to know what is expected.

The likelyhood of any actual increased risk to neighbours due to the presence of said cancer centre or Nuclear Medicine department is minimal to nil. When a new facility is constructed and/or expanded on city bylaws involve public consultation phase, and I would argue that this is all that is neccessary. Suggest changing the word "may" (appears twice in second last paragraph of 2.1 in line 2 and last line) should be changed to "do" Date: 2010-12-10 Provider: Wayne Beckham Organization: BC Cancer Agency - Vancouver Island Centre Email: [email protected] -----Original Message----From: Dr Alistair Baillie Sent: Friday, December 10, 2010 6:05 PM To: Consultation Subject: Comment(s) on 2.1 section of RD-99.3: Requirements for Public Information and Disclosure document MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: ColdFusion 8 Application Server Comment: I note in the associated guidance document that a program may not be required for a cancer treatment centre.

The guidance document hints to this, using the phrasing "may not apply" (I'm paraphrasing). Is there a criteria for a Cancer Centre being included or excluded and can this be made clearer?

Principle sources include: Activated gases that are constantly vented at very low levels, activated linac components which are managed in decommissioning, radioactive seeds released in patients or in rare circumstances are "lost". Are there "levels" below which are considered trivial and hence not note worthy or reportable. What is the public actually interested in? Does the disclosure of these sources, however small, raise the potential for greater panic within the public? To whom are these reports made and how are they to be released? Would guideline from CNSC on the expectation of what would be considered reportable and what would not. Is the frequency of the report too high for a Cancer Centre? Many of the "interesting" things happen on infrequent basis.
