The recycled fuel can then be used to create mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel, which can run certain nuclear reactors. But the incompletion of the plant has left Japan with 19,000 tons of spent nuclear fuel ...

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 ...

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.

The federal government has agreed to conduct an extensive environmental study of a nuclear weapons production effort that includes a multibillion dollar pit factory at the Savannah River Site in South ...

Traditional efforts to reuse SNF have focused heavily on mixed oxide (MOX) fuel, which combines regenerated plutonium with depleted uranium to produce a viable fuel for thermal and fast reactors.

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.

Rosatom’s ongoing efforts in developing next-generation nuclear fuels are focused on two core fuel types: MOX (Mixed Oxide) fuel and SNUP (Uranium-Plutonium Nitride) fuel. Both fuels are ...
