Description

The CANDU reactor has developed a distinctive safety philosophy which differs in many ways from that which has evolved for light-water reactors. This can give rise to difficulties when trying to sell CANDU in markets which have already been penetrated by LWRs. Several studies have already analyzed the licensing problems CANDU would face in the USA. This paper outlines the similarities and differences which are found when European licensing approaches and requirements are compared with those of the USA. These would have relevance to the sale of CANDU in Europe
