CANDU nuclear reactors are AECL’s flagship product, operating in Canada, the Republic of Korea, China, Argentina and Romania. In the past 10 years, AECL has delivered six international CANDU projects on time and on budget. CANDU reactors operate economically and reliably for up 25 years at which time a reactor core component replacement can be applied to further extend the life of the reactor for another 30 years. CANDU reactors produce electricity safely and in an environmentally friendly manner – without air pollution and without emission of greenhouse gases.
