Introducing: CANDU 3

When adding to generating systems, today's electric utilities need flexibility in 
the critical exercise of matching supply with demand. And they must avoid the 
huge financing costs and overruns that have crippled energy megaprojects in 
the recent past.
In recent years, utilities are finding that bigger isn't always better. Rising 
financing costs, long construction periods, inflation and uncertain demand 
growth have hindered utilities from acquiring nuclear reactors - particularly 
the largereactors so popular during the 1960s and 1970s.
Many now realize that smaller nuclear power plants, built on a shorter construction 
schedule, can better match electrical load growth and avoid the cost penalty of over 
or under supply. Also apparent is, if large blocks of electrical demand do materialize, 
the economics of standardized, multiunit production can largely offset the economy 
of scale achieved by larger units.
Enter CANDU 3. The latest evolution in a proud lineage of CANDU designs.
The breakthrough CANDU 3, entirely "pre-built" using cutting edge CADD design 
techniques, will provide utilities with the flexibility they demand. CANDU 3 is 
designed to meet and surpass the specifications of competing reactors in today's 
global marketplace. A compact and economical high-performance 450 MWe power 
plant, one CANDU 3 can supply the electricity needs of a city of 200,000 people.
