CANDU heavy water reactors use natural Uranium that is not enriched. They can also use MOX (mixed oxide fuel) which is a mixture of natural uranium and plutonium from spent uranium, and from dismantled Nuclear weapons. Also depleted uranium from light water reactors can be recycled in CANDU reactors.
