CANDU reactor - PHWR | Definition & Components | nuclear …
2014年2月11日 · The CANDU reactor design (or PHWR – Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor) has been developed since the 1950s in Canada, and more recently also in India. These reactors are heavy water cooled and moderated pressurized water reactors.
Advanced CANDU reactor - Wikipedia
The Advanced CANDU reactor (ACR), or ACR-1000, was a proposed Generation III+ nuclear reactor design, developed by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL). It combined features of the existing CANDU pressurised heavy water reactors (PHWR) with features of light-water cooled pressurized water reactors (PWR).

CANDU
Some of the design features and unique characteristics of the CANDU reactor are: two fully capable safety shutdown systems, independent from each other and the reactor regulating system. This Technical Summary provides an overview of the CANDU 6 nuclear power system.
How a Nuclear Reactor Works - Canadian Nuclear Association
Canadian nuclear power reactors are CANDU reactors – heavy water reactors developed by Canadian scientists and engineers. CANDU stands for Canada deuterium uranium, because it uses deuterium oxide (heavy water) as a moderator and coolant and uses natural (not enriched) uranium as a fuel.

Pages - CANDU Reactors
In 1987, the CANDu reactor, along with the CN Tower and the Alouette space satellite, was ranked as one of Canada's top ten engineering achievments during the previous 100 years. There were 438 nuclear reactors in operation around the world in January 2002, 32 of …
CANDU nuclear reactors: history and characteristics
The CANDU reactor, a Canadian technology developed in the 1950s-1960s, uses heavy water as moderator and natural uranium as fuel to generate electricity. CANDU models have evolved, with units ranging from 500 to 880 MWe, followed by the CANDU 6 and CANDU 9.
