Description

In the near future, MOX fuel design is adapted in order to comply with the basic requirements of the utility in view to obtain an equivalence with UO2 fuels. An increasing number of reactors is going to be loaded with MOX: up to 28 at the end of the century. It was decide at the end of 1996 to develop a new transport system taking into account the evolutions, and to reduce the number of transports. The new generation of packaging for MOX fuel is the M.X type packaging. (N.C.)
