On-line fueling gives CANDU an inherent advantage in that leaking fuel bundles can be removed without loss of generation (provided they can be located). In LWR’s [light water reactor] there is a strong motivation to continue operating until the next scheduled fueling outage – so these reactors hold, on the average, a higher fission product concentration in their primary coolant. 3, record 3, English, - on%2Dline%20fueling
