Review - ACR-700
On June 19, 2002, Atomic Energy of Canada, Limited (AECL) requested pre-application
review of their ACR-700 for licensing in the United States. The ACR-700
is a 700 MWe light-water-cooled reactor with two steam generators and
four heat transport pumps. Similar to previous CANDU designs, the ACR-700
utilizes a heavy water moderator. This is the first reactor in the CANDU
series to have a negative void reactivity coefficient. The ACR-700 also
uses slightly enriched uranium fuel, computer-controlled operation, and
on-power fueling.
