Difference between CANDU reactor and Nuclear Power Demonstration

CANDU reactor vs. Nuclear Power Demonstration

The CANDU, for Canada Deuterium Uranium, is a Canadian pressurized heavy-water reactor design used to generate electric power. Nuclear Power Demonstration (or NPD) was the first Canadian nuclear power reactor, and the prototype for the CANDU reactor design.

Similarities between CANDU reactor and Nuclear Power Demonstration

CANDU reactor and Nuclear Power Demonstration have 13 things in common (in Unionpedia): Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, CANDU reactor, Douglas Point Nuclear Generating Station, Heavy water, Natural uranium, Neutron moderator, Nuclear power in Canada, Nuclear reactor, Ontario, Ontario Hydro, Ontario Power Generation, Uranium, Zirconium alloy.

Atomic Energy of Canada Limited

Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL; Énergie atomique du Canada limitée (EACL)) is a Canadian federal Crown corporation and Canada's largest nuclear science and technology laboratory.

Heavy water

Heavy water (deuterium oxide) is a form of water that contains a larger than normal amount of the hydrogen isotope deuterium (or D, also known as heavy hydrogen), rather than the common hydrogen-1 isotope (or H, also called protium) that makes up most of the hydrogen in normal water.

Neutron moderator

In nuclear engineering, a neutron moderator is a medium that reduces the speed of fast neutrons, thereby turning them into thermal neutrons capable of sustaining a nuclear chain reaction involving uranium-235 or a similar fissile nuclide.

Nuclear power in Canada

Nuclear power in Canada is provided by 19 commercial reactors with a net capacity of 13.5 Gigawatts (GWe), producing a total of 95.6 Terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity, which accounted for 16.6% of the nation's total electric energy generation in 2015.
