The Candu Reactor: An Optimal Platform for New Fuels
www.pbnc2010.org.mx/pdfs/plennary/thursday/10.45_TheCANDUReactor.pdf
The sale of this unique technology "completes the Conservative government’s long-held plan to get out of the nuclear-energy business, which has been a drain on federal resources." according to "Ottawa to sell AECL to SNC-Lavalin" www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/ottawa-to-sell-aecl-to-snc-lavalin/article2078110/singlepage/#articlecontent
AECL's chief technology officer Anthony De Vuono said the NUE fuel cycle "opens up a sustainable development path leading to an overall extension of uranium fuel resources while, at the same time, reusing spent fuel from light water reactors." www.aecl.ca/NewsRoom/News/Press-2010/100323.htm
Citing the Candu reactor's low uranium consumption per terawatt-hour of electricity delivered to the grid, Zhao Hua, president of NPIC, said: "We are interested in working with AECL to jointly develop this important advantage including recycling recovered uranium from spent PWR fuel." archives.truenorthperspective.com/Apr_10/Apr_16/fuel_test.html
The window of opportunity is here. More than 200 reactors are planned to be built in the next 20 years and Canada is already in discussion with potential customers like China, Argentina, India, Jordan, Romania and other Eastern European countries who see the advantages of CANDU for their country. www.nuclearcounterfeit.com/?p=1755
A distinguished panel of experts appointed by the China National Nuclear Corporation concluded that CANDU is the ideal reactor design to further China’s nuclear power program using thorium as an alternative to uranium as a nuclear fuel source. The panel also noted the ability of CANDU reactors to reuse uranium recycled from light water reactor fuel from our competitor’s reactors and unanimously recommended that China consider building two new CANDU units to take advantage of CANDU’s unique capabilities in utilizing alternative fuels. These are solid competitive advantages for Canada in one of the fastest growing economies on the planet. www.nuclearcounterfeit.com/?p=1755

Ottawa to sell AECL to SNC-Lavalin
Last updated Tuesday, Jun. 28, 2011 3:39PM EDT
The Harper government is set to announce the sale of Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. to Montreal-based engineering firm SNC-Lavalin Group (SNC-T57.591.041.84%), a major gamble that Canada’s nuclear program can stand on its own amid growing global resistance to nuclear energy.
