Good video, it gives a concise overview of the heavy water reactor. I've been a CANDU Disciple since the 1980s, they mitigate a lot of the downside associated with nuclear power production. I'm also an advocate for thorium reactors, the stuff is a lot more plentiful than yellow-cake. Also, less waste is generated and zero plutonium.

Could one also reprocess the PWR SNF and «dope» the MOX fuel with a burnable poison like thorium, or downblend with U-238 to 0.7%+ the leftover Pu? Wouldn't the extra reactivity using reprocessed fuel allow for Th-232 to U-233 «breeding»? IIRC India wants to try this but just use Pu-Th MOX. LWR+PHWR seems like a great middle ground until fast reactors come and further burn these «wastes» into materials that just need 300 years of storage.

Great Show on a complicated Subject Osama!!! This will need allot of Hot Cell work to fabricate the spent assemblies into CANDU Bundles. But it beats a full blown fuel reprocessing in cost. I believe the reason this idea hasn't caught on is because Uranium is too cheap right now. If the price were to climb into the low hundreds for a few years to catch the interest. Currently Uranium oxideis at ~$40 lb

Thank you for this most informative video. It answered a lot of questions I still had about the Dupic fuel cycle. Some of them I had worked out myself through diligent reading, but some questions were left open which you answered with your video. One small last question; doesn't the increased power output (from 935 -> 1100 to use your example) hurt the reactor? Like extra stress on core materials etc? As an aside, there is another reactor that can do what the CANDU does. The Russian BN-800 (Быстрых Нейтронах = Fast Neutron) can also use the spent fuel from other light water reactors. However, it is a fast breeder reactor, not a thermal reactor. And I have two favourite reactor types. The CANDU obviously, and the RBMK despite its many flaws and weaknesses. Weird combo, I know😅

Great question Swoka! Uprating the reactor by increasing power of outer channels won't damage the reactor. The reason why is b/c the outer channels are usually running at a lower power rating (since they are not surrounded by other channels - due to not having as much neutron activation from neighboring channels.

Not that weird, actually. The CANDU and RBMK have some striking similarities. Both are «channel-type reactors»- Allows for online refueling And both can run on natural uranium, because graphite also has a great neutron economy, like heavy water. The problem is that while you can «poison» a CANDU to stop it in an emergency, by doping the moderator with a neutron absorber, you cant do that in a RBMK. Plus, nowadays RBMKs are much safer than they were from proper operator training and several upgrades to the reactors. Basically now operators know -DO NOT YANK OUT ALL CONTROL RODS AFTER XENON POISONING YOUR REACTOR-. I actually wonder if an advanced version of the RBMK could become something like a «discount CANDU» by upgrading safety features, and by actually building containment buildings over the reactors. Graphite is much cheaper than heavy water.

@@AlldaylongRock When reading and learning about both reactor types (I started teaching myself about the RBMK first and then came across the CANDU later), I said to myself; "There is no way that these two haven't met at some point, considering just how similar they are." I'm thinking in the direction of the Soviets spying on Canada when they were working on the early CANDU designs. But because the Soviets didn't have access to large quantities of (expensive!) heavy water, they went with graphite as a moderator instead. One cannot use liquid poison in an RBMK because it's a BWR-type reactor. It would gum up the innards of the reactor to the point of it being permanently rendered inoperable. That goes for any "regular" BWR as well. With a PWR/ CANDU you can flush the primary loop after it all is said and done, post-emergency. With the former reactors not so much, due to them producing their steam in situ, instead of in a steam generator via a secondary loop. They have done extensive improvement work on the RBMK. They have cleaned up quite nicely safety-wise, as far as RBMKs go. Of course there is still the not-having-full-containment bit, but apart from that they have become proper, well-behaved reactors. And yes, pulling as many rods as they did is beyond ridiculous. If Xenon has pulled your reactor that deep subcritical, you should let the reactor sleep it off for at least 24 hrs before even considering a restart. But that would have meant they couldn't do their vaunted test. And failure was not really an option in the Soviet Union. "I actually wonder if an advanced version of the RBMK could become something like a «discount CANDU» by upgrading safety features, and by actually building containment buildings over the reactors. Graphite is much cheaper than heavy water." Actually, I might have sort of an answer to that. I stumbled upon this design when asking myself the same question. There has been work done on a successor to the RBMK. It was supposed to be built at Kursk NPP as Unit 5, but eventually got cancelled in the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster. It is called the MKER (Многопетлевой -> Multi-loop, Канальный -> Channel-type, Энергетический -> Power, Реактор -> Reactor). It would have had full containment; improvement of the plant economics due to an advanced turbine cycle; enhancement of the reactor neutronics; the introduction of passive safety systems not unlike those found on the CANDU; an increased number of independent circulation loops; the possibility of accident localisation in one loop. There is scant information about it, only found one page with the above characteristics and one technical schematic/ drawing. Not going to lie, I really would have loved to see this reactor in action. It would be all that an RBMK could have been, if only they'd sit on the design a bit longer, instead of just plunking it out in the world like they did.

@@swokatsamsiyu3590 I also stumbled upon the MKER when reading about the RBMK. Chernobyl was a big mess up for the world in general. Things would look much better now. For one, many more countries would have gone nuclear, and R&D wouldn't be halted and so focused on LWRs. Fast reactors and CANDU-like reactors (channel-type, NU fueled) are quite the tech. For one, no enrichment necessary. There's leftover Pu in the fuel from these. Reprocess, and throw that Pu into a fast reactor along with NU. In fact THIS was why the RBMK was built. To generate Pu for bombs (or at least heavily based on a military reactor). It's design was totally optimized for the premature removal of fuel rods so there wasn't much Pu-240 and Pu-241,which are a problem for bombs, but no problem for a reactor, especially a fast reactor. The lack of containment was also due to this "optimization".

very informative :) thanks! I heard that when my homecountry of Denmark was going into nuclear in the 70ies before we banned it after public pressure, the CANDU reactor was seriously discussed as a posible choice of reactor. Now more Danes are pro nuclear than against it, and we have 2 Danish MSR companies one of them namely Copenhgan Atomics is planning on using heavy water for their thorium MSR. Hypothetically speaking, do you think it would make sense for Denmark to build out CANDU reactors now to start us up on the path towards using CPH Atomics Heavy Water Thorium MSR (called the Wasteburner)? Or what would you say was the best way for Denmark to proceed if we asume politicians where on board today?

Honestly, it depends on the maturity of the technology and the regulatory side of things. Its a complex process to deploy reactor technologies, you need to go through a lengthy regulatory approval process, prototype reactors are to be deployed as well. CANDU reactors have the benefit of having that legacy, however they function very differently than MSR's. I can't answer your question since I don't understand Denmark's socio-political-economic-regulatory situation, but it would be ideal to invest in both technologies

I'm guessing we would possibly need to build some new CANDUs to figure out the fuelling process. The process might require building in a special pool into the intake end. Which makes me think. Can this be done with fuel that's over 10 years old? That doesn't need water and only needs a special tiny dry cask? Let's figure this out, and build some more CANDUs! Get the US to pay us to take their spent fuel. Win win!

Canada was a world leader and still is in heavy water research. The country was lucky enough to get samples of heavy water (which were very rare at the time) during WWII, that lead to development in its heavy water expertise. This in turn lead to producing heavy water on a large scale due, and developing reactors which use both heavy water and natural uranium (which can be found in Canada in abundance). Other countries decided to concentrate on enrichment technologies

@@DriveCarToBar My understanding is that the US tries to reprocess naval reactor fuel after adequate cooling. Especially the submarine reactors which use very highly enriched fuel, but the surface ships also use somewhat enriched fuel. Presumably the used fuel still contains far more fissile material than natural uranium and is highly desirable for reprocessing and for isotopic separation. The high enrichment also means very little U238 was available to be converted to awkward plutonium or other isotopes, so again, reprocessing and enrichment would be easier than for the products of many other reactor types.

This application of CANDU *sounds* good. Certainly you can wring some more energy out of the U235 and the fissile fraction of the plutonium. But: I do not see how DUPIC can reduce the space/volume requirement for subsequent disposal. Spent uranium fuel rods came out with fission products corresponding directly to the original fissile content, plus some fission of the U235 and plutonium produced by bombardment of U238. Let's say about 4%, less decay of short-lived isotopes. Now you take that rod, and subject it to further burn up. Now it contains more fission products than when it went in, plus more products of bombardment, both of the U238 and of the plutonium mixture. Now you let that doubly-spent fuel cool. It now has *more* Caesium and strontium, so it will be hotter longer in deep disposal. It has *more* actinides from bombardment of U238 and more weird ones from bombardment of plutonium. U232 comes especially to mind as a gamma emitter rather than a neutron/alpha emitter, with a half life twice as long as caesium. This stuff will be hotter and for longer than the original spent uranium fuel. It will need a new round of cooling for the shorter lived fission products, and final disposal in a facility with distinctly longer containment periods from two metrics. Firstly: the U232 will double the period otherwise allocated for decay of caesium and strontium, and the increased amount and diversity of plutonium bombardment products will extend the extreme long term actinide containment provision. Or so it seems to me. I also do not clearly see that output is improved. There may be more U235 and Plutonium reactivity, but there is also the poison capacity of the fission products and the large-cross-section actinides. It eats up some of your neutron economy and requires extra fresh fuel to furnish those. Granted, you have lots of moderator, but you still need to furnish neutrons from somewhere. Finally, this stuff is still thermogenic waste, corresponding roughly to spent fuel. When you damp the reactor, it keeps making heat, probably more than from your normal natural uranium fuel. You may get better peak output, but you also have higher cooling requirements at idle and in temporary storage. It sounds good, and historically CANDU is one of my more favoured reactor concepts, admittedly for aesthetic reasons. But I am hard pressed to see that DUPIC is as exciting as all that. DUPIC is only part of the fuel load, requires awkward handling, and produces wastes that are hard to visualise as more tractable than either the original spent uranium fuel, or ordinary CANDU spent fuel.
