In my lecture to Israel Electric Company Dept. managers in a lecture on December 2019, I presented the advantages of SMR's based on ANEEL thorium reactors. Finally, my predictions were not theoretical but now 4 years later it happens lnkd.in

ANEEL has been developed for use in pressurized heavy water reactors and Candu reactors (its name is taken from Advanced Nuclear Energy for Enriched Life). The company says it can offer significantly improved performance with existing proven heavy water reactor systems by leveraging thorium's "inherently superior" nuclear, thermal and physical properties while retaining the same external dimensions and configuration design as in currently used natural uranium fuel bundles. The company claims that it can replace current fuel bundles, without any significant modifications to the reactor, to reduce life-cycle operating costs and waste volumes, increase safety and accident tolerance, and result in additional proliferation resistance.
Clean Core said that ANEEL is the first thorium-based fuel for Candu reactors to complete the first phase of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) pre-licensing process for new fuel designs.
The Vendor Design Review (VDR) process has included submissions across nine focus areas, building a licensing basis and safety case for the fuel. The company said that the pre-licensing process has provided an opportunity for Clean Core to demonstrate understanding and compliance with Canadian licensing requirements and seek detailed feedback ahead of a formal license application.
