Description

This note contains a brief description of the resulting 1200 MWe CANDU-BLW reactor design and fuel cycle. It will be seen that the design reflects one important ground-rule used in the study, which was that ''the design should utilize as much of the current and projected CANDU-PHW and CANDU-BLW technology as possible, unless there are compelling economic reasons otherwise''
