Fuel cycle tests also have included the DUPIC ( Direct Use of spent PWR fuel In CANDU ) fuel cycle, where used fuel from a Pressurized Water Reactor ( PWR ) is packaged into a CANDU fuel bundle with only physical reprocessing ( cut into pieces ) but no chemical reprocessing.

Fulfilling these requirements has been possible through the use of PuO 2-ThO 2 MOX, and ThO 2-233 UO 2 MOX in different pins of the same fuel cluster, and the use of a heterogeneous moderator consisting of amorphous carbon ( in the fuel bundles ) and heavy water in 80 20 % volume ratio.
