  1. Nuclear Journal of Canada, 1987 Vol 1 No. 1, by G.R. Howey, P.A. Ross-Ross, and I.S. Hewitt, CNS, 1987-03-01. Doc type: Paper.
    Summary: The Canadian Nuclear Society / Societe Nucleaire Canadienne was born as the Technical Society of the Canadian Nuclear Association,' on 11 June 1979, at the Annual Business Meeting of the Canadian Nuclear Association. The Canadian Nuclear Society (CNS) was to be a learned society, with membership open to individuals. The CNS was to be distinct from the Canadian Nuclear Association (CNA) whose membership is composed primarily of industries and institutions, and thereby serves as an industrial forum.

  2. Nuclear Journal of Canada, 1987 Vol 1 No. 4, by J.A.L. Robertson, CNS, 1987-12-01. Doc type: Paper.
    Summary: The outstanding performance of CANDU fuel is attributed to a well-rounded development program that combined sound science with excellent engineering. Economic analysis and technology transfer were integrated into the program to ensure successful commercialization. The CANDU fuel program provides useful lessons that are being Ignored by policymakers in their desire to exploit our world-elass resources in science and technology to benefit the Canadian economy.

  3. Canada's Nuclear Achievement: Technical and Economic Perspectives, by T.E. Rummery and J.A. MacPherson, AECL, 1995-07-01. Doc type: Paper.
    Summary: As published in the Canadian Nuclear Society Bulletin Vol. 16, No. 2, 1995 with the kind permission of the CNS: Canada's leading role and eminent accomplishments in nuclear development now span more than half a century. They encompass aspects as diverse as the design and sale of nuclear power reactors and research reactor technology, to the establishment of a corps of scientists, engineers and technologists with the expertise to address a wide scope of important nuclear science issues. To address the many facets of Canada's nuclear activities over the past 50 years would obviously require space far beyond that available in this paper. We have therefore limited this review to highlights we judge to be the most pertinent and interesting from an historical, technical and economic perspective. We also indicate briefly our view of the future of nuclear power in the overall context of energy needs in a world that is becoming more industrial and increasingly environmentally conscious.

  4. Why Ontario Generates So Much Electricity from Nuclear Energy, by Lorne G. McConnell, CNA, 2010-03-01. Doc type: Paper.
    Summary: This historical review provides an excellent summary of the context in which CANDU was conceived, designed, built, commissioned and operated. The origins of some of the major characteristic features of CANDU are also given. Note: Figure G3 herein is a corrected version of the original published version which contained a scale error.
