Other R&D J. Further Info The CANDU system is a strong example of safety through both engineered redundancy and passive design. The core has numerous triple-redundant detectors that feed to two logically, conceptually and physically separate shutdown systems (shut-off rods and high-pressure poison injection).

Each system is capable of shutting down the core within 2 seconds following a LOCA ("Loss-of-Coolant Accident" -- the design-basis accident for CANDU reactors), without credit given to operator intervention. See the next FAQ for a more detailed discussion of the engineered CANDU safety systems. In addition to engineered safety systems, CANDU reactors have a number of inherent safety features that distinguish it from other reactor designs (e.g. PWRs, BWRs): • The subdivision of the core into two thermalhydraulic ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
