In a world increasingly focused on clean and dependable energy, nuclear power plays a crucial role. Canada Deuterium Uranium (CANDU) reactors, powered by the fuel manufactured at BWXT, are a cornerstone of Canada’s energy landscape, providing a reliable source of electricity while minimizing environmental impact.   

From our manufacturing facilities across Ontario, we have proudly supplied CANDU fuel for decades, powering homes and industries by delivering over half a million fuel bundles for reactors across Canada. Our continuous investment in research and development keeps us at the forefront of CANDU fuel advancements. 

We produce a variety of fuel types to meet the needs of different CANDU reactor designs currently operating in Canada, including CANDU 37e regular, CANDU 37e long and CANDU 28e.  

Beyond fuel manufacturing, we support other organizations in establishing their own CANDU fuel production capabilities, providing both the necessary technology, equipment and components in collaboration to expand access to this clean energy source. 

As the original designer and manufacturer of CANDU fuel handling systems for major Canadian nuclear generating systems, including Bruce Power and Darlington, we have a long-standing reputation for excellence in fuel services. Our expertise covers the entire spectrum, from design and manufacturing to delivery, installation and commissioning. Our skilled engineers offer on-site and remote support for fuel-handling systems, including new and spent fuel transfer systems, along with specialized maintenance and recovery tooling.
