Design of a weapons-grade plutonium assembly for optimal burnup in a standard pressurized water reactor /

We created a new MOX fuel assembly design that can be used in standard Westinghouse pressurized water reactors (PWR) to maximize the plutonium throughput while introducing the lowest perturbation possible to the control and safety systems of the reactor. Our assembly design, which is called MIX-33,...
