The engineering parameters for refurbishments of IMEF M6 cell to be applied for DUPIC fuel fabrication are also reviewed and some transportation casks to move samples and specimens between the facilities were reviewed. The reference fuel was established from the characteristics of spent PWR fuel out of nuclear power plant. Based on the balance of fuel, the balance of fuel material was evaluated qualitatively between DUPIC and once-through cycle, and the preliminary economic analysis between two cycles was performed. The spent fuel arising and the environmental safety were also evaluated. Cooperative actions for the Phase II of DUPIC being implemented on a tripartite frame between Korea-Canada-U.S.A and a brief survey on the prospectives of applying the DUPIC fuel cycle concept on global level were touched upon.
