The CANDU Plant
• CANDU = CANadian Deuterium-Uranium• Cooled and moderated by heavy water• Natural uranium fuel• D less effective moderator than H
larger separation between fuel bundles than in a LWR designers chose to have individually cooled channels about one bundle thick with heavy water moderator surrounding the channel

CANDU Control SystemsReactor Regulating System
• Manoeuvres reactor power according to specified setpoints
• Provides rapid power reduction during serious plant upsets
• Responds to operator’s requests (power changes and shutdown)
• Action normally initiated by digital control computer (DCC)
![Page 24: Design of Traditional and Advanced CANDU Plants · – Fuel Channel – Reactor Coolant System ... No widespread PT ballooning Containment Peak pressure not to exceed design pressure](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040119/5e6dba36df0a2c194224cda8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Reactor Regulating System Reactivity devices
• Zone controllers – cylindrical tanks which can be filled or emptied with light water
• Adjuster rods – can only be driven slowly• Mechanical control absorbers – driven slowly or
dropped• Shutoff rods – driven out (by the RRS)• Liquid poison – added to the moderator• Refueling
• ACR-700: – no adjusters– H2O zone controllers are replaced by solid
control assemblies

CANDU Control Centers
• Main Control Room (Group 1)– Controls and setpoints– Primary control of process and safety systems for all
DBEs– Testing of safety systems– On-line refueling
• Secondary Control Area (Group 2)– Separated from MCR– Required when MCR becomes uninhabitable– Controls provided for safety shutdown, heat sink and
monitoring of essential safety functions

CANDU 6 Electrical Systems
• 4 classes of power according to availability requirements:– Class I – Uninterruptible DC for essential auxiliaries,
control, protection and safety equipment– Class II - Uninterruptible AC for essential auxiliaries,
control, protection and safety equipment– Class III – AC to essential auxiliaries that can tolerate
short duration power outages– Class IV - Normal AC to auxiliaries and equipment
which can tolerate long duration interruptions – EPS (emergency power system) – backup for Group 2
safety systems

Electrical Systems Odd end Even concept
• All voltage levels divided into odd and even buses
• Loads connected such that half of power to a process is supplied from odd bus and other half by even bus
• Separation requirements between odd and even systems (raceways, JB’s, etc)

Design Basis EventsCNSC C-6 Guide
• C-6 Guide for the Safety Analysis of CANDU Nuclear Power Plants– Provides guidelines for developing a safety
analysis report for CANDU plants– Establishes a “safety goal”– Covers practices and performance criteria
for safety analysis– Not mandatory
![Page 33: Design of Traditional and Advanced CANDU Plants · – Fuel Channel – Reactor Coolant System ... No widespread PT ballooning Containment Peak pressure not to exceed design pressure](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040119/5e6dba36df0a2c194224cda8/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Design Basis EventsCNSC C-6 guidelines
• C-6 uses five classes of events based on likelihood • Initiating events are generally included for Class 1, 2
& 3:– Class 1: control failures, normal electrical power
failures, ….– Class 2: small loss of reactor primary coolant, ….– Class 3: large loss of reactor primary coolant, ….–
• Class 4 and 5 generally include combinations of events, in particular combinations of initiating events and total failure of a safety system

Safety FunctionsCNSC fundamental requirements
• Plant must perform the following functions (CCCM):– Shutdown the reactor (Control)– Remove decay heat from fuel (Cool)– Contain radioactivity releases (Contain)– Provide post-accident monitoring (Monitor)
• Functions above are performed by special safety systems (protective systems) and other safety related systems
![Page 41: Design of Traditional and Advanced CANDU Plants · – Fuel Channel – Reactor Coolant System ... No widespread PT ballooning Containment Peak pressure not to exceed design pressure](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040119/5e6dba36df0a2c194224cda8/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Two-Group Separation
• Purpose: to ensure that common-cause events will not prevent plant from performing required safety function
• Systems are grouped into 2 groups • Groups are independent of each other and
physically separated • Systems in each group can provide the
essential safety functions independent of the other group
![Page 42: Design of Traditional and Advanced CANDU Plants · – Fuel Channel – Reactor Coolant System ...

44
Special Safety Systems
• CNSC Regulatory documents R-7, R-8, R-9 require:– SSS be independent of each other in design and
operation– SSS be independent from process systems– SSS have unavailability of 0.001– SSS perform their intended functions while subject to
the most severe environmental conditions resulting from DBEs (EQ)
– Status of equipment required for SSS actuation be monitored from the control room
– Availability tests be performed to demonstrate compliance with availability requirements
– (other)
