Interesting synopsis Angelica. Very interesting! But one aspect is being overlooked; the fact that the Canadian government sold the technology to a private firm, subsequently in a lot of hot water for bribing foreign governments in exchange for lucrative contracts.
The tech was sold for a penny on the dollar and the firm has been simply milking it, not investing in R&D not CANDU sales. So it seems that the tech will die a slow death unless it can be resucitated. Can the government claw back the IP? Is there enough experience remaining? Does refurbishment experience count towards new builds? Key questions that deserve answers.
Interesting read, outlaw.. :) thanks.. I’ll have to look more at this… FYI… your ex grandfather in law is from New Brunswick
A good article! I'm pretty sure that South Korea has some CANDU reactors that use spent nuclear fuel from their PWR's.
Yes indeed...more people should know about this tech!
