CANDU nuclear power plants are considered very safe. The many safety systems of the CANDU nuclear plant take into account human error, equipment failure, natural risks such as earthquakes, and even the threat of a terrorist attack. In the event that an accident should occur, CANDU power plants have three means of shutdown, including the normal regulating system and, unique to CANDU, two independent, fast-acting safety shutdown systems that are designed to contain radioactive emissions within multiple containment barriers.
