One of the most impontant results of an extensive program of physics measurements and calculations for CANDU is the prediction of reactivity lifetime of natural-uranium fuel. Good estimates of fuel lifetime are needed to calculate a realistic value for fueling costs. Since June 1959, when the first reference design of CANDU was set, results of calculations ranged from 8,800 Mwd/ton to 10,600 Mwd/ ton; from which, the original prediction was 9,750 plus or minus 10% Mwd/ton. Refined lifetime calculations and available experimental data reaffirm this prediction. (B.O.G.)
