-
Decc's preferred option is to build a plant to combine the plutonium with other materials in so-called mixed-oxide fuel Mox, which is less dangerous than the current plutonium-oxide powder.

-
Unit 3 is of particular concern, because that's the only reactor at the Fukushima site that uses a mixed uranium-plutonium fuel, also known as a mixed-oxide fuel or "MOX."
-
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.

-
Reactor No. 3's mixed-oxide, or MOX, fuel contains plutonium, and any breach in the reactor's containment unit might account for a plutonium release.
At Plant, a Choice Between Bad, Worse Andrew Morse 2011
-
Reactor No. 3 uses mixed-oxide, or MOX fuel, that contains plutonium.

-
They can be expected to argue that such facilities would serve as a regional supplier for enriched uranium fuel for power reactors, or a regional reprocessing plant, where plutonium could be extracted for recycling spent fuel for re-use in power reactors as mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel.

The Atmea joint venture has been established by Areva NP and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to develop an 1100 MWe (net) three-loop PWR with extended fuel cycles, 37% thermal efficiency and the capacity to use mixed-oxide fuel only.
-
In order to extract it for recycle, the used fuel is reprocessed, and the recovered plutonium oxide is mixed with depleted uranium oxide to produce mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel, with about 5% Pu-239.

-
The plutonium is normally recycled promptly into mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel, by mixing it with depleted uranium.
