International audience; The aim of this paper is to analyze and comparenuclear scenarios including the Argentinian and theBrazilian nuclear fleets working either in a collaborativescenario or separately.Brazilian nuclear fleet is composed of PWRs (PressurizedWater Reactors). Fordecades,ArgentinahasbeenoperatingPressurizedHeavyWaterReactors(PHWR),inparticularaCanadianDeuteriumUranium(CANDU)typereactor.Thankstotheirveryefficientneutroneconomy,thosereactorsareknowntobeabletoacceptlargespectrumoffueltypes.TheycanbecriticalwhenfueledbyDUPIC(DirectUseofPWRfuelinCANDU),orwithreprocessedfuelfromirradiatedenricheduranium.Theycouldbeevenalmostbreedersifusedwiththorium-‐basedfuels.Inthispaper,wepresenthowthespecificreactorphysicsofCANDUhavebeenimplementedinthescenariocodeCLASS(CoreLibraryforAdvancedScenarioSimulation).ThenwediscusstheadvantagesofacollaborativescenariobetweenArgentinaandBrazil.
