Description
Discharged fuel from light water reactors contains uranium with U-235 enrichment of between 0.7 and 0.95 wt%. This uranium, after separation and refabrication, can be used in CANDU or, after separation, re-enrichment and refabrication, in a light water reactor. The physics and economic implications of utilizing this uranium in these reactor systems is examined
