Abstract

Nuclear electricity in Canada is generated by CANDU nuclear power stations. The 
CANDU reactor - a unique Canadian design - is fuelled by natural uranium and 
moderated by heavy water. CANDU reactors have consistently out-performed other 
nation's designs, and have an outstanding record of safety, reliability and economy. 
As a source of energy, the CANDU system provides an opportunity for decreasing our 
dependence on dwindling supplies of conventional fossil fuels, while avoiding the 
environmental pollution that causes acid rain and global warming.
