ZEEP (Zero Energy Experimental Pile). In 1945, this 10-watt research reactor achieved the first controlled nuclear chain reaction outside the United States. Built at AECL's laboratories at Chalk River, Ontario, it also provided valuable information on the characteristics of heavy-water-moderated fuel lattices for the reactors to come, including early CANDU commercial power reactors. ZEEP was retired from service in 1970. 2, record 9, English, - ZEEP%20research%20reactor

The Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) is preparing to evaluate for use as fuel in a CANDU reactor a small amount of plutonium from the dismantled nuclear weapons of the United States and the Russian Federation. Contact groups in these countries are the United States Department of Energy (DOE) and the Russian Ministry of Atomic Energy (Minatom). The plutonium, as plutonium oxide, will be mixed with uranium oxide for use as fuel in a CANDU reactor in a parallel experiment which is called the Parallex test.
