Advanced CANDU Reactor (ACR)

The Advanced CANDU Reactor (ACR) is a type of nuclear power plant designed to produce electricity efficiently and safely. It uses natural uranium or low-enriched uranium fuel, with a heavy water moderator that helps sustain nuclear reactions. The ACR incorporates modern technology to improve safety, reduce waste, and operate more economically compared to earlier models. Its design allows faster fuel use and simpler manufacturing, making it a reliable source of low-carbon energy. Overall, the ACR advances nuclear technology by enhancing performance while maintaining rigorous safety standards.
