That's because they're running a 70 year old design. You don't need back-up power for a CANDU reactor which are still old, but not one of the initial designs.

You don't need back-up power for a CANDU reactor which are still old, but not one of the initial designs. You can't build nuclear weapons with a CANDU reactor though, so it's not really in high demand.
