The Tritium Extraction Plant is being built at the Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories and requires licensing to be operated. Some aspects of this licensing are discussed including the licensing authority and the general licensing procedure of a new facility. Since dose hazard is an important part of the licensing, various aspects of estimating possible doses are discussed. These aspects played a major role in establishing the code to which the plant is being designed and built.
