The engineering approach is discussed to provide some appreciation of the fact that CANDUs are engineered systems, typified by functional decomposition and piecewise refinement, which leads to …

Fuel developed, designed, tested in China CANDU reactors (Qinshan), jointly by SNC-Lavalin of Canada and CNNC of China, licensed and awaiting fuel plant modifications for full core implementation.

Our premise is that CANDU can be deployed in Europe to reduce waste, save money for operating utilities (i.e. Nuclearelectrica) and introduce much more flexible fuel options. This paper provides an …

On an international front, the CANDU owners have made significant contributions to reference documents and standards of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), especially in response …

Session 3 is about the Heat Transport System, which in CANDUs uses heavy water to transfer the energy released by the nuclear fuel in the reactor to generate steam to drive the turbine and generator.

Toronto: April 2, 2025 – CANDU Owners Group Inc. (COG), a Canadian not-for-profit collaboration hub focused on fostering excellence through collaboration for CANDU owners, operators and the broader …

Some of the design features and unique characteristics of the CANDU reactor are: two fully capable safety shutdown systems, independent from each other and the reactor regulating system. This …
