Neutronic evaluation of CANDU-6 core using reprocessed fuels
2020
Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences
The spent fuel from a PWR still contains some amount of fissile materials depending on their initial enrichment and the burnup. Thus, spent fuel from PWRs containing about 1.5% of fissile material could be used as fuel for CANDU reactors after some fission products are removed from it. Thus, an important proposal is the DUPIC cycle, where spent fuels from a PWR are packaged into a CANDU fuel bundle using mechanical reprocessing but without the need of chemical reprocessing. When it is refueled
