While everyone else is running away from nuclear power thanks to Fukujima, the Canadians are quietly going ahead with their CANDU reactors. They are designed to fail safe, i.e., a power failure simply shuts them down. They burn un-enriched uranium and could even burn the spent fuel from our high pressure reactors. India is even experimenting with using thorium in the CANDUs they bought. I guess it must be the NIH factor.
