CANDU 3: Technical review and status
Description
CANDU-3 is the latest and smallest Canadian PHWR for electricity generation. Rated at 450 MWe, CANDU-3 offers a highly flexible plant configuration, adaptable to a wide range of different user requirements and sites. Simplified component installation and extensive use of pre-assembled modules has shortened the construction schedule to less than three years. CANDU-3 should have particular appeal to countries without hydro or economic fossil fuel resources, countries with small or subdivided grid systems, and countries wanting to develop a nuclear industry with minimum investment.
