Gallium present in weapons plutonium must be removed before it can be used for the production of mixed-oxide (MOX) nuclear reactor fuel. The main goal of the preliminary studies conducted at Texas A&M University was to assist in the development of a thermal process to remove gallium from a gallium oxide/plutonium oxide matrix. This effort is being conducted in close consultation with the Los Al...

This paper considers the use of unconventional fuel in nuclear power reactors, using example a VVER-type unit, order to find out possibility saving natural fissile uranium nuclei. Saving is one important tasks, solution which will give time for development two-component industry that have no problems with resources. However, at present, reserves cheap can provide existing level global energy on...
