The code system used for the design of, currently operating Canada deuterium uranium (CANDU) reactors consists of the cell code POWDERPUFS-V and the finite difference code RFSP. The use of POWDERPUFS-V is limited to natural uranium fuel because of the empirical correlations implemented. For the advanced CANDU fuel cycle using spent pressurized water reactor fuel in CANDU (DUPIC), it is necessary to adopt a lattice code that has a general application in isotopics and geometry modeling. For the DUPIC fuel cycle, it was decided to use WIMS-AECL and RFSP for the lattice parameter generation and core simulation, respectively, with the ENDF/B-V nuclear data processed for WIMS-AECL by Atomic Energy of Canada (AECL).
