Development of Phenomena Identification and Ranking Tables (PIRTs) for the advanced CANDU reactor
Abstract
The Advanced CANDU Reactor (ACR™) is an evolutionary advancement of the current CANDU 6® reactor, aimed at producing electrical power for a capital cost and at a unit-energy cost significantly less than that of the current reactor designs. The ACR retains the modular concept of horizontal fuel channels surrounded by a heavy water moderator, as with all CANDU reactors. However, ACR uses slightly enriched uranium (SEU) fuel, compared to the …
