The third cycle of tests of MOX fuel in the MIR research reactor is to begin following the successful completion of the ...

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has secured an order from Shikoku Electric Power to supply 24 MOX (mixed oxide fuel) assemblies for Unit 3 of the Ikata nuclear power station in Japan.

The UK’s plutonium stocks will be immobilised at Sellafield before eventually being sent for geological disposal ...

The UK government has decided that the UK’s stockpile of some 140 tonnes of civil plutonium will be immobilised ...

France’s fast reactors have been used to both generate electricity just like any other thermal plant, while also providing the plutonium needed for creating MOX fuel that can be used in its LWRs.

Years ago, pluthermal energy was viewed as a dream way for Japan to generate electricity with nuclear power plants using plutonium-uranium mixed oxide (MOX) fuel. The beauty of the technology is ...

Advanced and innovative technologies are already implemented in a few countries to reprocess the spent fuel and recycle its usable materials, such as plutonium and uranium, through the fabrication and ...

It applies to facilities that reprocess spent fuel and other material from nuclear power plants that use metallic and oxide fuels, including materials from mixed oxide (MOX) fuel and breeder reactors.

A study focused on a boiling water reactor demonstrated that a new mixed oxide (MOX) fuel assembly design could effectively recycle americium, curium, and neptunium while maintaining energy ...
