CANDU-PHW reactor in relation to a Second Nuclear Era
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7122324
The reasons for the emergence and successful development of the CANDU-PHWR system are outlined. A plant of typical present-day design is described, with tabulated parameters and dimensions for two sizes. Technical, economic, and commercial differences from other reactor types are considered, including investment patterns and consumption of the basic uranium resource. Safety aspects are compared with those of other reactor types and a condensed risk assessment is given. The separate question of licensability is discussed, with the conclusion that this is unpredictable because of the nature of the licensing process. It is concluded that CANDU-PHWR is a viable system for a Second Nuclear Era.
