The CANDU® 6 nuclear power reactor design has been in commercial operation since the 1980s and is currently in operation in several countries, including Canada, Argentina, South Korea, China and Romania. CANDU 6 is the proven, mid size version of the CANDU Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor (PHWR). With a gross electrical output in excess of 720 MWe, the CANDU 6 fits easily into most grids. The CANDU designuses natural uranium fuel. Other fuel types can be used, including slightly enriched uranium (SEU), recovered uranium (RU), mixed oxides (MOX), and thorium. On power re-fuelling maintains the reactivity, eliminates the need for re-fuelling outages, and contributes to the availability record of CANDU power plants. The focus of this paper, apart from summarizing some key technical and operating features of the CANDU reactor design, is to demonstrate how the selection of the CANDU technology can contribute to the development of the country's nuclear industry and economy and allows nuclear self sufficiency, using the Cernavoda Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) project in Romania as an example. Similar benefits, in terms of economic development and nuclear energy self-sufficiency, have also been realized by other countries that have selected the CANDU reactor technology.
