Proven Technology
CANDU is a Proven Technology
Operating successfully in Québec, New Brunswick, Argentina, Romania, Korea, and China, the CANDU 6 is a proven, reliable design that readily accommodates evolutionary improvements.
The CANDU 6 is among the most efficient users of uranium of any commercial power reactor in the world.
Building on the successful features of the CANDU 6, AECL has developed an Enhanced CANDU 6 reactor, which offers even higher plant output, lower capital costs, improvements to operability and longer life.
ACR-1000: Poised to Meet Ontario’s Energy Needs
The ACR-1000 reactor, currently in the pre-licensing process, builds on the CANDU 6 experience to deliver large safety margins, lower capital and operating costs, ease of maintenance and excellent operating performance with high availability, long life, and fast construction.
Designed for the world market, the Canadian made ACR-1000 is a world-class, Generation III+ reactor that is poised to meet Ontario's energy needs, by enhancing the advantages of the CANDU design.
The ACR-1000 represents global technology that will allow Ontario to be an export leader in nuclear energy.
