This is amazing! Thanks for doing this.

Given that CANDU was originally an alternative name for what we came to know as Douglas Point, I think I'd call NPD the "father" rather than the "grandfather" of the CANDU, although current CANDU plants are clearly of the Pickering generation, one step farther along from Douglas Point. So you could make the case either way. In any case, I regard the CANDU type as the most attractive power reactor available today. It requires no fuel enrichment and no large forging facilities such as LWRs require, which is a huge advantage for rapid deployment of large numbers, which will be needed if the world wants to get serious about "clean energy", and the Pickering pressure-tube rupture accident of 1983 shows how incredibly safe the system is. You can put a CANDU in a high-population area without worry. As I understand it, NPD was located at the Rolphton site partly because of a nearby hydro plant at Des Joachims, which is apparently pronounced "de-shawms" locally. In a couple of weeks, I'm headed to Torness in Scotland, to see a very different type of power reactor, but one which can also be fueled on-load. They don't allow video recording, though!

It’s amazing how nuclear Industry being the most conservative yet one of the most innovative industries.

Great must be tremendously exciting for you, thanks for sharing!

the background muzak is annoying as hell!

Amazing Osama! Keep up the good work. I was thinking to plan a visit to CNL but I think I don’t need now. You covered almost everything.

Absolutely amazing video. I really want to know more about high temp nuclear. I did some quick searching of CNL a week ago. For climate change I think we should just start talking about creating "heat city". That is a process heat manufacturing city powered by nuclear. But my understanding is that a CANDU doesn't get hot enough for this. I've heard CNL did some research on this, but I'm not sure. I'd like to know more. Let's just create the idea of "heat city" by talking about it.

I'm only at the start of this video. Exciting stuff!!!!!!!!!

I lived next to the first candu growing up and it had an information room teaching you all about it with a tour.

Great stuff as always Osama.

when foreigners want to do mineral business with different individual in the governments of africa, they create a story like this one, soon m16 will be there pretending to categorizing that place for scientific research,but its a done deal, the population is blinded and all the resources are gone

Hi Bro nice video

i have now see all the nuclear disaster that have taken place in japan and ukraine. i have noticed that not even the nuclear power plant workers. they have no special equipment or any special training for if anything goes wrong. and worst of all they have no special tools or clothes that can protect them from the radiation ☢️ it is very basic stuff that should be kept in any building that works in a place that have risks of radiation. i simply cannot understand why they do not have any of the mentioned. not even special mask requirements and why they don’t build explosion proof walls around the core

00:01 PUBLIC CHANNEL* Educate on Money * Credit * Debt & Politics * Keep it Simple ! Ham Radio Operator VK3GFS is following this great content 73s Frank 09:52

I'd love to see a followup video that compares the dangers present in each, how they are addressed, and what waste management looks like.

Does the poison ruin the heavy water?

Anyone know where the actual mine was located in Oklo?

Can you do a video on fast breeder reactors

SO IT IS SMART TO PRODUCE AN EXTRA REACTOR THAT COULD USED FOR BACKUP POWER WHILE REBURBISHING.

You clearly know the material but you don't clearly explain it.

All bullshit

For the history of NPD watch: ruclips.net/video/mdcXAOvRp78/видео.html 06:40 The NPD nuclear side, including the calandria, was made by CGE in Peterborogh - see the contemporary movie I referenced above. The conventional side (turbine and generator) were imported from the UK 08:10 Douglas Point had a computer (just one DCI 620 I think) used for data collection, but it had no control functions. It was installled to gain experience with computers in the Nuclear industry and its direct successor, the Varain V72, was /is used to control the Bruce A and B reactors and the Pickering B reactors.

The acronym "CANDU", a registered trademark of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, stands for “Canada Deuterium Uranium”.

I know this video is over a year old but I need a question answered, I have just finished my corse in aerospace engineering and I really want this ring, but the problem is that I live in the uk and I was wondering if it was disrespectful if I bought an engineers ring and wore it?????

🧿👁👍🌹🚌🤍💚🇹🇷…+1.~

OSAMA! HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST FOR CANADA TO PRODUCE A CANDU REACTOR OF 700MW?

CANADA WAS MORE ADVANCED THAN THE USA IN THE 1950s. JUST LOOK AT THE ARROW FIGHTER AIRCRAFT PROGRAM.

Great job, one more advantage you forgot to mention that in BWRs the reactor vessel and associated components operates at lower pressure compared to PWRs

Airswift BDM - We're largely known for being a global O&G firm, but slowly expanding into power and nuclear. I personally just transitioned into Nuclear after being an O&G BDM for 3 years. Thank you for the video's, helps me self-educate and not seem ridiculous when I'm in front of these major companies.

Decarb9nizing is great climate change bad blah blah The fact that these things require no enrichment facilities making fuel grade and bomb grade materials should be the take away here. These reactors cannot produce weapons fuel, any pu239 produced in the reactors will be burned off with negligible amounts left over. A few things that our narrator should know. 1. Spent fuel especially from US reactors could be reused in those reactors since that fuel is mostly unused. The build up of daughter products necessitates its removal. The fuel could then be cleaned ie re-processed for insertion back into a reactor, but thanks to international treaties that make no sense we do not reprocess our fuel as France does with its fuel. So the billions spent to refine that fuel is essentiallly thrown away or in this case apparently given to canada (they should cover costs of refining if this is the case) and 2. CANDU reactors are not the only sources of tritium if they were all modern nuclear weapons wouldn't work. For people obsessed with climate change heres your answer, its here and it works unlike fusion which wven if it were cracked tomorrow we wouldnt see a functioning plant for decades.

Thanks a lot for this interview ! With love, from France

Great video! Would love to see these chats about internships and new graduate opportunities with recruiters at other nuclear companies (Kinectrics, Framatome, Tetra Tech, NPX, Bruce Power, CNL, etc.)

Very well explained.

That guest was VERY interesting, please have him on more times. (Not just restricted to nuclear, but would be interesting to hear his points of view on - well - all his areas of expertise really)

Renewables require 100% backup and if that backup is nuclear, what's the point of the renewables in the first place?

Is there inside color camera

As a Nuclear Professional, I truly appreciate your work. Please keep attempting to educate the public on the benefits and risks of today's Nuclear Energy Technology. Proud of our crown corporation, OPG, for building America's first grid scale SMR.

CANDU save us from ourselves.

Dr. Kiefer might be surprised how many people see his videos/podcast. I link to it frequently when arguing about nuclear online. Also, as a Decouple listener this was a great watch.

Right on...great conversation.

The safety record of nuclear power has been well established using solid scientific and epidemiological data . ‘Scientific American’ journal has had excellent articles proving that per petawatt hour , nuclear is about as safe as solar or wind on a case fatality rate and several orders of magnitude safer than coal . Graphite moderated nuclear reactors were banned in the west around 1958 , yet Chernobyl continued to operate until 1986 ,,, Atmospheric nuclear testing was banned in 1964 by President JFKennedy . Why is discussion of old nuclear history relevant in 2024 ? Look at the science of the 21st century.

Amazing guest. I follow this guy on LinkedIn

Brother how’s Master in health science in this university.??

Nothing beats the good old RBMK

RBMK had tubes too.

What is the reason for the CANDU to have so many independent pressure vessels OTHER than the ability to fuel them while the reactor is running? Isnt it cheaper to just have one common pressure vessel for all fuel assemblies?

my girlfriend is a intern at opg and got to sit through an orientation and to hold a fuel bundle, you led the orientation. shes laughing on facetime saying" OMG THATS THE GUY THAT LED IT" saying thats probably the same fuel bundle she held. lol. small world

Well, we should definitely know one of the least used Reactor Models, and that’s the RBMK Reactor, which is the same type of reactor that Infamously Exploded in Chernobyl.
