CANDU reactors use heavy water (Deuterium Oxide is called heavy water because it is heavier than normal water by about 10%), Thus the reactor is named CANDU, for (CAN)ada (D)euterium (U)ranium. During Fission (the process used in nuclear reactors) some of the atom breaks up, and energy is released. On average, 80% of the released energy is carried off by the fragments in ... 400 37 856 000 Purchased 979 296 411 446 000 Total $6 019 296 ---------- ------------------------------------------------------ (1 kilowatt = 1000 watts. 1 kilowatt hour = 1 kilowatt per hour of use.)

- 4316: History of Papermaking
- History of Papermaking HISTORY OF PAPERMAKING Papermaking goes as far back as 105 A.D. when Ts'ai Lun, an official at the Imperial Court of China, made a sheet of paper using mulberry and other fibres along with fish nets, rags and hemp waste.

- 4317: Canada's Ideal Population - What Is It? and How Should It Be Achieved?

Small chains showed a large proportion of their wastes were comprised of food wastes (43 ... Thus, even for a "large chain" that generates a relatively smaller percentage of food waste, the waste actually being disposed is mostly compostable.

It is interesting to note that by simply recycling corrugated boxes and composting all compostable wastes, a grocery store can reduce the amount of waste being landfilled by approximately by 89 percent (Exhibit D).
