CANDU 300 fuel channel
Description
The fuel channel design in CANDU 300 is governed by the station requirements for a fast construction schedule, high channel power and a high capacity factor while achieving significant savings in capital and operating costs over current designs. The shop-assembled, composite fuel channel-calandria tube module offers significant improvements in schedule for large-scale channel removal and replacement at the end of channel design life. The number of channel components are also substantially reduced over current designs. This channel design is expected to be effective and reliable to match the increased demands specified for CANDU 300 stations
