<strong>Reactor</strong> Design Basis<br />
• The <strong>ACR</strong> reactor is based on a typical CANDU design<br />
• Features an array of fuel channels passing horizontally<br />
through cal<strong>and</strong>ria containing the moderator heavy<br />
water<br />
• Cal<strong>and</strong>ria is a horizontal cylindrical vessel closed at<br />
each end by circular flat plates (cal<strong>and</strong>ria tube sheets)<br />
• The cal<strong>and</strong>ria tubes pass horizontally through the<br />
cal<strong>and</strong>ria <strong>and</strong> restrain the cal<strong>and</strong>ria tube sheets<br />
• The cal<strong>and</strong>ria is enclosed by end shields<br />
• The shield tank encloses <strong>and</strong> supports the cal<strong>and</strong>ria<br />
<strong>and</strong> end shields<br />
