Gentilly-2 fuel performance
Description
Fuel performs well in Gentilly-2, despite scheduled departure from base-load operation; the fuel defect rate is low and comparable to other CANDU reactors. Fuel utilization has been improved by about 14 percent, mainly as a result of upgrading the heavy water. Our experience to date confirms that CANDU fuel is reliable, cost-effective and versatile
