OSTI ID:4216233
The design of NPD is about 85% complete, most equipment is on order, manufacture of the calandria has begun, and the order for the UO/sub 2/ pellets has been placed. The design work on CANDU up to the present has consisted of computations to aid in the choice of reactor dimensions, steam pressure, and values for other main parameters. Costs for the CANDU Reactor are estimated. Related projects and cooperative arrangements with other countries are summarized. These include PRTR, CVR, Swedish Power Reactors, British Steam-cooled Reactor, OCDRE, and OMRE. (W.D.M.)
