Major facilities at BNPD [Bruce Nuclear Power Development] include three nuclear electric generating stations..., three heavy water production plants and support facilities. The latter include two radioactive waste storage sites, which are used to store LLRW [low-level radioactive waste] from all Ontario Hydro reactor stations, except [one], and from their research and maintenance facilities. 4, record 1, English, - radioactive%20waste%20repository

Nuclear Facility Safety Analysis. Safety analysis reports document the analysis and the potential consequences of accidents and abnormal occurrences at nuclear facilities. For those facilities which process, store, and handle plutonium and other fissile materials, nuclear criticality safety analysis is a required element of the facility safety analysis report. The process includes the identification of hazards in the facility(including nuclear criticality safety hazards), the identification and development of potential scenarios involving nuclear criticality concerns, the development of failure modes and the potential effects of the accident, and the consequences of the accident. 1, record 3, English, - nuclear%20facility%20safety%20analysis

Fast reactors can be operated in a "burner" mode... Such reactors can "store" temporarily large quantities of plutonium as fuel in their cores, and, in the event that nuclear fission has to be replaced one day by better sources of concentrated energy, they can dispose of, or "burn, "inventories of plutonium and actinides. This also eliminates plutonium "mines", a potential source of material for nuclear weapons proliferation. 1, record 4, English, - reactor%20in%20burner%20mode

Dans Phénix et Superphénix, la matière fissile est du plutonium associé à de l'uranium appauvri (ce dernier provenant des usines d'enrichissement). Une très large proportion des neutrons non utilisés pour entretenir la réaction en chaîne est absorbée dans 238U, en donnant du plutonium. Selon les configurations détaillées adoptées, la production de plutonium peut être légèrement supérieure, du même ordre, ou légèrement inférieure à sa consommation : on dit que le réacteur est «surgénérateur», «isogénérateur» ou «sous-générateur». 1, record 4, French, - r%C3%A9acteur%20sous%2Dg%C3%A9n%C3%A9rateur
