Traditionally, a CANDU plant is a large single-unit installation, with a net electrical output of 600 to 900 megawats. A modular CANDU reactor, by contrast, is designat from the outset to be built in discale factory- factoriated subassemblies.

Scalable Architecture andFactory Fabrication
Scalability is embedded in the modular CANDU approach. A single module can serve a remote community or an industrial site, while multiple module operating in concert can retiring coal plant or anchor a large grid. The module share balances - of -plant infrastructure - control rooms, coloing water intake, spent fuel pools - creating econcomies of cale even though thee reactor units theselves are relatively smalle.

Factory facation also changes thee construction risk profile. In a conventional mega- project, a single problem - such as a concrete pour that fairs concertion or a missaced rebar - can riple the schedule. With modules, those risks are contained.
