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 ...

Luckily, for this purpose there is a mixed-oxide fuel known as MOX that can be made from plutonium. Once plutonium is converted into MOX, it no longer can be used for weapons.

Chattanooga meeting on MOX fuel draws a crowd. September 12, 2012 at 1:00 a.m. | Updated January 1, 1904 at 1:00 a.m.

This is the Mixed Oxide (MOX) Fuel Fabrication Facility, and it represents America’s side of a crucial bargain signed 15 years ago with Russia.

About 6 percent of the fuel rods in reactor No. 3 at the Fukushima Dai-ichi power plant are made from so-called "mixed-oxide" (MOX) fuel, which contains plutonium as well as uranium.

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 ...

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. IE 11 is not supported.

Orano will fabricate 40 MOX fuel assemblies at its MELOX plant in France. MHI has a history of supplying 57 MOX fuel ...

TVEL Fuel Co., operated by Rosatom, will be the supplier of fresh MOX fuel for the Beloyarsk plant, a 1,485-MW facility with two operating reactors—a BN-600 and a BN-800, both fast breeder reactors.

The existing Sellafield Mox Plant, opened in 2002, has cost more than £1.3bn to date yet has produced just 13.8 tons of Mox fuel in nine years compared to an expected output of 120 tons per year.

MOX fuel has been fabricated and used in Europe for many years. In the U.S., however, MOX production has faced challenges. The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration ...
