| Sommario/riassunto: | "This book provides the most comprehensive history of the export of CANDU reactors to date. A pressurized heavy water natural-uranium power reactor designed and marketed by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, the CANDU reactor has played a significant part in Canada's international trade. In this history, Duane Bratt examines every CANDU sale, as well as some important unsuccessful sales attempts, from 1956 to the present. He also outlines the impact that changes in the international political climate, such as the creation and strengthening of the international nuclear non-proliferation regime and the increasing importance of human rights and environmental protection, have had on CANDU exports over the last fifty years."--Jacket. |
