| Abstract: | Canada's Pickering nuclear power station with a total capacity of 2000 MW demonstrates the viability of the CANDU system, which employs heavy water as moderator with natural uranium as fuel. In this article Mr Boyd describes current operating experience and the background to Canada's nuclear programme which is destined to supply about 50% of all electricity generation in that country by 2000. |
