CANTEACH Project Overview

CANTEACH is a non-commercial project supported by all Canadian nuclear utilities, major universities and industry associations. Most of the project input comes from volunteer contributions of documentation, training courses and lectures provided by CANTEACH partners (view Project Model) and administered by CANTEACH Management. More about the CANTEACH Project in:

• Preservation and Dissemination of CANDU® Technical Knowledge (The CANTEACH Project) - paper prepared for the 2003 CNS Conference
• Preserving CANDU Technical Knowledge - The CANTEACH Project - project paper written for 2003 CNS Conference Bulletin
• CANTEACH Flyer

Purpose of the project:

• Capture the CANDU technology asset into comprehensive public technical library
• Facilitate public awareness of nuclear power for safe electrical generation

Project deliverables:

• A set of lecture notes and courses in multi-media format
• CANTEACH web site that provides access to all technical documentation accumulated by the project

A note of thanks to Dan Meneley, founder of CANTEACH. From the inception of CANTEACH to mid 2007, Dan has been working hard to build this technical library and without him it simply would not have happened. We at CANTEACH would like to express our deep appreciation to Dan and wish him well on his new ventures. Thanks for everything Dan.

Document Format

It is essential that an effective format be established and maintained for the development and presentation of technical material. Here are some guidelines:

• General notes on establishing and maintaining an effective format for the development and presentation of technical material.
• Why use pdf and the web? (pdf 50kb) - promoting the notion of a single source of material for all uses with specific reference to CANTEACH issues.
• CANTEACH specific: Suggested format for technical documents (pdf kb, MS Word doc 36kb). Use the Word doc as a template.
