CLAUDE GRANDMAISON VICE-PRÉSIDENT, RÉGION MAURICIE HYDRO-QUÉBEC CONFERENCE ANNUELLE DE L'ANC ET DE LA SNC MONTREAL LE 6 JUIN 1994 SALUTATIONS D'USAGE. PERMETTEZ-MOI D'ABORD DE VOUS SOUHAITER À TOUS LA PLUS CORDIALE DES BIENVENUES À MONTRÉAL JE SUIS CONVAINCU QUE CETTE RENCONTRE ANNUELLE SAURA RÉPONDRE AUX ATTENTES DE TOUS LES REPRÉSENTANTS DE L'INDUSTRIE NUCLÉAIRE QUI SONT ICI PRÉSENTS. I WOULD PARTICULARLY LIKE TO EXTEND THIS WARM WELCOME TO THE NUMEROUS PARTICIPANTS FROM ABROAD. INDEED, AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED WHILE READING THE PROGRAM, WE WILL ENJOY THE OPPORTUNITY OF EXCHANGING IDEAS WITH SPECIALISTS FROM THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE WORLD. AT THIS TIME, I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK THE MEMBERS OF THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE, FOR HAVING ENTRUSTED ME AS HONORARY PRESIDENT OF THIS PRESTIGIOUS CONFERENCE. IT IS WITH GREAT PLEASURE THAT I ACCEPTED THIS RESPONSIBILITY IN HYDRO-QUEBEC'S NAME AND AS THE VICE-PRESIDENT RESPONSIBLE OF THE ONLY NUCLEAR FACILITY IN OUR NETWORK. AS YOU MAY WELL KNOW, NUCLEAR ENERGY IS MINIMALLY EXPLOITED IN QUÉBEC. INDEED, WE STILL HAVE ABUNDANT HYDRAULIC RESOURCES AT OUR DISPOSAL THAT CAN BE IMPLEMENTED AT A COST THAT IS INFERIOR TO ALL OTHER MEANS OF PRODUCTION. NEVERTHELESS, HYDRO-QUÉBEC WISHES TO MAINTAIN ITS TECHNICAL EXPERTISE IN THE NUCLEAR ENERGY FIELD AND IS ALWAYS ON THE LOOKOUT FOR NEW TECHNOLOGIES. IT IS IN THIS SPIRIT THAT WE HAVE BEEN OPERATING OUR GENTILLY-2 NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, A CANDU-PHW TYPE PLANT, FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS. THIS PLANT PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN HYDRO-QUEBEC'S EQUIPMENT POOL. ALTHOUGH IT SUPPLIES BUT 3 PERCENT OF OUR TOTAL PRODUCTION - WHICH REPRESENTS SOME 45 TERAWATTHOURS OVER 10 YEARS -, ITS RELIABILITY ASSURES IT A CONSTANT PRESENCE ON THE NETWORK. HENCE, SINCE THE BEGINNING OF ITS COMMERCIAL OPERATION, GENTILLY-2 HAS ATTAINED A PRODUCTION COEFFICIENT OF OVER 76 PERCENT. LIKE ALL OTHER SOURCES OF ENERGY, NUCLEAR POWER HAS ADVANTAGES AND

  • Fuel Cycle Flexibility in CANDU P.G
    IAEA-SM-353-5P Fuel Cycle Flexibility in CANDU P.G. Boczar XA9949933 Director, Fuel and Fuel Cycle Division, AECL Chalk River Laboratories, Chalk River, Ontario, Canada No single fuel-cycle path is appropriate for all countries. Many local and global factors will affect the best strategy for an individual country. Fuel-cycle flexibility is an important factor in an ever-changing, and unpredictable world. CANDU is an evolutionary reactor, offering a custom fuel cycle to fit local requirements. Its unsurpassed fuel-cycle flexibility can accommodate the widest range of fuel-cycle options in existing CANDU stations. In the short term, the CANFLEX® bundle is nearing power reactor implementation. The demonstration irradiation of 26 bundles in the Pt. Lepreau power station in New Brunswick, Canada, started this September, and a water-CHF test will take place later this year that will confirm the improvement in thermalhydraulic performance. CANFLEX provides enhanced operating and safety performance through a reduction in peak linear element ratings, and a significant increase in critical channel power. CANFLEX will be the near-term carrier of advanced fuel cycles. While natural uranium fuel provides outstanding advantages, the use of slightly enriched uranium (SEU) in CANDU offers even lower fuel cycle costs and other potential benefits, such as uprating capability through flattening the radial channel power distribution. Recycled uranium (RU) from reprocessing spent PWR fuel is a subset of SEU that has significant economic promise. The use of SEU/RU is the first logical step from natural uranium in CANDU. For countries having LWR reactors, the ability to use low-fissile material in CANDU reactors offers a range of unique synergistic fuel cycle opportunities.

  • THE NEXT GENERATION CANDU 6 J.M. HOPWOOD XA0053559 Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
    IAEA-SM-353/29 THE NEXT GENERATION CANDU 6 illinium J.M. HOPWOOD XA0053559 Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada Abstract AECL's product line of CANDU 6 and CANDU 9 nuclear power plants are adapted to respond to chang- ing market conditions, experience feedback and technological development by a continuous improvement process of design evolution. The CANDU 6 Nuclear Power Plant design is a successful family of nuclear units, with the first four units entering service in 1983, and the most recent entering service this year. A further four CANDU 6 units are under construction. Starting in 1996, a focused forward-looking development program is under way at AECL to incorporate a series of individual improvements and integrate them into the CANDU 6, leading to the evolutionary development of the next-generation enhanced CANDU 6. The CANDU 6 improvements program includes all aspects of an NPP project, including engineering tools improvements, design for improved constructability, scheduling for faster, more streamlined commissioning, and improved operating performance. This enhanced CANDU 6 product will combine the benefits of design provenness (drawing on the more than 70 reactor-years experience of the seven operating CANDU 6 units), with the advantages of an evolutionary next- generation design. Features of the enhanced CANDU 6 design include: • Advanced Human Machine Interface - built around the Advanced CANDU Control Centre. • Advanced fuel design - using the newly demonstrated CANFLEX fuel bundle. • Improved Efficiency based on improved utilization of waste heat. • Streamlined System Design - including simplifications to improve performance and safety system reliability. • Advanced Engineering Tools, - featuring linked electronic databases from 3D CADDS, equipment specifi- cation and material management.
