I wasn't saying that they're the same, I was saying that they solve many of the issues that they were talking about with nuclear power (ie: need to use enriched uranium, no waste etc.). Candu reactors currently produce "waste", but they were designed not to since Canada thought they had little uranium to work with. Once it was found it was abundant in Canada, they stopped the reprocessing step, and just used newly mined uranium.
