MOX fuel, a mixture of weapon-grade plutonium and natural or
depleted uranium, may be used to deplete a portion of the world's
surplus of weapon-grade plutonium. A number of reactors currently
operate in Europe with one-third MOX cores, and others are
scheduled to begin using MOX fuels in both Europe and Japan in the
near future. While Russia has laboratory-scale MOX fabrication
facilities, the technology remains under study. No fuels containing
plutonium are used in the U.S. The 25 presentations in this book
give an impressive overview of MOX technology. The following issues
are covered: an up to date report on the disposition of ex-weapons
Pu in Russia; an analysis of safety features of MOX fuel
configurations of different reactor concepts and their operating
and control measures; an exchange of information on the status of
MOX utilisation in existing power plants, the fabrication
technology of various MOX fuels and their behaviour in practice; a
discussion of the typical national approaches by Russia and the
western countries to the utilisation of Pu as MOX fuel; an
introduction to new ideas, enhancing the disposition option of MOX
fuel exploitation and destruction in existing and future advanced
reactor systems; and the identification of common research areas
where defined tasks can be initiated in cooperative partnership.
