Advanced Fuel CANDU Reactor (AFCR)

The Advanced Fuel CANDU Reactor (AFCR) is an upgraded nuclear reactor designed to use various types of fuel more efficiently, including recycled or mixed fuels, to generate electricity. It maintains the core principles of traditional CANDU reactors, such as using heavy water as a moderator and coolant, which allows it to operate with different fuel options. The AFCR aims to improve safety, reduce waste, and enhance fuel utilization, making nuclear power more sustainable and flexible. It represents advancements in nuclear technology to better meet future energy demands while maintaining high safety standards.
