Canadian project to focus on recycling of heavy water : Waste & Recycling - World Nuclear News

Canadian project to focus on recycling of heavy water : Waste & Recycling - World Nuclear News: Ontario Power Generation's Centre for Canadian Nuclear Sustainability has announced a collaboration agreement between Laurentis Energy Partners and BWXT Canada to develop technology that will assist in the recycling of heavy water at OPG's nuclear facilities. Canada's Candu pressurised heavy water reactors use unenriched, or "natural", uranium oxide fuel and heavy water as both the moderator to slow down neutrons in the reactor's core and as the reactor coolant.
