CANDU reactor
The CANDU reactor is a
pressurized heavy water reactor
developed initially in the late 1950s and 1960s by a partnership between
Atomic Energy of Canada Limited
(AECL), the
Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario
(now known as
Ontario Power Generation
), Canadian
General Electric
(now known as GE Canada), as well as several private industry participants. The acronym "CANDU", a registered trademark of
Atomic Energy of Canada Limited
, stands for "CANada Deuterium Uranium". This is a reference to its deuterium-oxide (
heavy water
)
moderator
and its use of
natural uranium
fuel. All current power reactors in
Canada
are of the CANDU type. Canada markets this power reactor abroad.
