Where are the nuclear reactors in Canada and what are they called?
Mostly in Ontario, one in Quebec and one in New Brunswick. They are all CANDU type, ie heavy water moderated and cooled.
Two important functions of heavy water in a candu reactor?
moderator, coolant
How many hydro power plants in India?
Nuclear power is the fourth-largest source of electricity in India after thermal, hydro and renewable sources of electricity. As of 2008, India has 17 nuclear power plants in operation generating 4,120 MW while 6 other are under construction and are expected to generate an additional 3,160 MW.India has 6 nuclear plants in operation. They are Kaigain the state of Karnataka which has two reactors that produce 220 MW each. Kakrapar in the state of Gujarat, Kalpakkamin the Tamil Nadu , and Narora in Uttar Pradesh that all has two reactors each that produce 220 MW. Rawatbhata in Rajastan has 1 reactor producing 100 MW, one producing 200 MW and 2 producing 220 MW for a total capacity of 740 MW. Tarapur is the largest nuclear generating station in India regarding total maximum capacity and it is located in the state of Maharastra, it has two reactors producing 160 MW and two producing 540 MW for a total capacity of 1400 MW. All of these reactors are of the CANDU design.India also is in the process of constructing four new plants in Kaiga, Rawatbhata, Kundakulm, and Kalpakkam.

Why is it important that Canada and Romania's relationship continues?
The nuclear power plant of Cernavodă is of CANDU type and Canadians helped Romania.
What type of nuclear reactor does Canada sell to other countries?
The Candu reactor, which is a heavy water moderated reactor with horizontal pressure tubes enclosing the fuel rods. Something unique to the Canadians, but which has been successful and is installed also in several power stations in Canada, mostly in Ontario.
Does a CANDU produce nuclear or hydroelectric power?
nuclear power
WHAT IS candu?
CANDU (Canada Deuterium Uranium) is a type of nuclear reactor designed and developed in Canada. It uses heavy water (deuterium oxide) as a moderator and coolant, allowing it to utilize natural uranium as fuel without the need for enrichment. CANDU reactors are known for their safety features and ability to be refueled while operating, making them efficient and flexible energy sources. They are used primarily in Canada but have also been exported to several other countries.

How many years had Canada used nuclear power?
Canada's first Nuclear Power Plant was the NPD Power Plant built in Rolphton Ontario, and began operation in 1962. It was the first of the CANDU power plant design which is now used around the world.
Where are the nuclear reactors in Canada and what are they called?
Mostly in Ontario, one in Quebec and one in New Brunswick. They are all CANDU type, ie heavy water moderated and cooled.
What type of nuclear reactor is used in Ontario to produce electricity?
This is the Candu type, which was uniquely developed in Canada to use heavy water moderator and natural uranium fuel
Name one type of nuclear reactor?
One type of nuclear reactor is the pressurized water reactor (PWR). In a PWR, the heat generated by nuclear fission in the reactor core is transferred to water, which circulates through the core to create steam that drives turbines to produce electricity.
How does the uranium used in a CANDU reactor exist in nature?
The uranium used in a CANDU reactor primarily exists as uranium-238, a naturally occurring isotope found in various minerals, with a small percentage of uranium-235. It is extracted from uranium ore through milling and chemical processes to increase the concentration of uranium-235 for use as nuclear fuel in reactors.
What is Candu Energy Inc.'s population?
The population of Candu Energy Inc. is 2,011.
