Summary

Currently, the 900 MWe class Improved Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor (PHWR),

which is a type of CANDU reactor based on the systems and components of

operating CANDU plants, is under development. The improved PHWR has a 480 fuel

channel calandria, uses 37 element natural uranium fuel bundles and has a single unit

containment Adaptation of a steel-lined containment structure and improved

containment isolation systems permit a reduced exclusion area boundary (EAB)

compared to the existing larger capacity CANDU reactors (Darlington, Bruce B).

The Improved PHWR buildings are arranged to achieve minimum spacing between

reactor units. Plant safety and economy are increased through various design changes

based on the operating experience of existing CANDU plants.

Abstract (About 300 words)

Currently, the 900 MWe class Improved Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor

(PHWR), which is a type of CANDU reactor based on the systems and

components of operating CANDU plants, is under development The improved

PHWR has a 480 fuel channel calandria, uses 37 element natural uranium fuel

bundles and has a single unit containment Adaptation of a steel-lined

containment structure and improved containment isolation systems permit a

reduced exclusion area boundary (EAB) compared to the existing larger capacity

CANDU reactors (Darlington, Bruce B). The Improved PHWR buildings are

arranged to achieve minimum spacing between reactor units. Plant safety and

economy are increased through various design changes based on the operating

experience of existing CANDU plants.
