Course Overview

The CNS CANDU Technology and Safety Course, held for the last many years in March, has had to be cancelled/postponed to 2021 March on account of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In order to provide a partial replacement for the full course, a shorter, on-line course is being offered on 2020 November 13.

This on-line offering will present a small number of presentations on the technology of CANDU reactors, on:

• the basic reactor design
• CANDU thermalhydraulics
• plant refurbishment and reactor start-up tests, and
• balance-of-plant systems. 

The CNS is presenting this course to enhance the professional and technical capabilities of its members (and non-members) working in, or interested in, the nuclear industry.  The course is ideally suited for beginning professionals, but also beneficial to experienced professionals.  Come broaden your nuclear knowledge beyond your specific area of work and your own area of expertise. 

This course is eligible for Continuing Education Units in the context of the Engineering Institute of Canada Continuing Education program.
