ACR-1000: Product Update
- 1. Atomic Energy of Canada Limited 2251 Speakman Drive, Mississauga, Ontario, L5K 1B2, (Canada)
Description
The ACR-1000 uses well-established, fundamental, CANDU design elements: core design with horizontal pressure tubes; simple efficient fuel bundle design; on-power refuelling and a separate low-pressure, low-temperature heavy-water moderator providing an inherent emergency heat sink. It includes adaptations for light-water coolant and low-enriched uranium fuel, and offers a compact core configuration and higher steam pressure for greater thermodynamic efficiency. The ACR-1000 links design with licensing, emphasizing operability and maintainability from the viewpoint of the customer-the utility operator. (authors)
