Paris-headquartered Newcleo has received a favourable opinion from the council of the Aube Department region of eastern ...

MOX fuel produced from U.S. surplus weapons-grade plutonium had been successfully, permanently converted into nuclear fuel and then safely used to generate electricity within an American nuclear ...

The fast neutron BN-1200 reactor planned as Beloyarsk Nuclear Power Plant’s fifth unit has entered the preparation stage for ...

More than 100 people crowded a room at the Chattanooga Convention Center on Tuesday to talk about using a largely untried fuel in local nuclear reactors to help keep plutonium out of the hands of ...

At first glance, the idea that fuel derived from weapons-grade plutonium could be used to produce clean energy might seem crazy. An atomic bomb with a plutonium warhead is not just another weapon ...

The nuclear crisis in Japan has intensified a conflict over a project to turn weapons-grade plutonium into a commercial fuel called mixed oxide, or mox.

Several of Fukushima Daiichi's reactors are spewing radioactive material, but just one contains the even more toxic MOX fuel. Eve Conant reports on the controversial mixture of uranium and ...

At one of our nation's Cold War sites near the South Carolina-Georgia border, an $8 billion plant is under construction that will destroy dangerous weapons-grade plutonium by converting it to fuel ...

Advanced fuel cycles focus on maximizing the use of nuclear materials and minimizing waste. By employing mixed oxide (MOX) fuel and advanced recycling technologies, these fuel cycles can significantly ...

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 safety of MOX fuel should also play a major role in policy discussions on its future use in U.S. nuclear power reactors. Support for MOX fuel has diminished since the discovery of plutonium in ...
