The oldest of the Pickering CANDUs has been running for fifty years, if I'm not mistaken, albeit with some gaps for refurbishment. If that isn't a safe design, I don't know what is.
In other words, I agree, let's build more of those.
I'll repeat a brief history of Pickering:
At Pickering A plant, two units (A2 &A3) have been decommissioned. Units A1 and A4 were refurbished in the early 2000s. The refurbishments were supposed to cost $670M, but ended up costing over $2B. The 4 units of B plant were commissioned from 1983-1986. They've had life extension work to maintain their licensing to continue operations, but they need complete refurbishment or decommissioning. The Ford government has been dragging its feet. If a decision isn't made soon, the federal regulator will order them shut down.
