The Canadian nuclear fuel business relates primarily to supplying fuel for Candu reactors. The product development, manufacturing and marketing activities of our nuclear fuel industry will therefore be determined by the rate of growth of t he Candu nuclear reactor business. The nature of this relationship between the Canadian nuclear fuel industry and t he Canadian Heavy Water Reactor program will be considered, with particular reference to the factors influencing future economie growth.
