Description

The CANDU reactor system offers energy self-sufficiency and has demonstrated good performance in terms of safety, reliability, availability, utilization of fuel, and total energy costs. It offers an attractive development potential, especially in its flexibility to adapt to advanced fuel cycles. Technology transfer to foreign customers will allow them to become self-sufficient, especially in the fuel cycle. Canada not only can provide equipment and operation assistance, but also can offer assistance in nuclear education and joint research and development, and can give early assistance to countries embarking on a nuclear program
