Jaro, the key to what you said was a system that uses only Thorium. The
Candu can utilize thorium fuel with no modifications to the reactor.

You can use the OTT (Once Through Thorium) cycle, and use the fact that the
Candu has on line refuelling.
India and China are both investigating using CANDU's with Thorium
