“…Most of these properties/behavior phenomena are either nearly identical or comparable. In practice, MOX fuel and UO2 fuel perform similarly in reactors, especially during normal conditions [53]. In this section, as UO2 is a well-known fuel, the differences between MOX and UO2 will be focused on, especially under the LWR conditions.…”

The DOE-NE is supporting the development and deployment of microreactors through the activities of the microreactor program. As part of its activities, the program is surveying available fuel types and data in support of their use in microreactor systems. This survey of fuel candidates for microreactors aims at identifying gaps that need further research through programs such as the Advanced Fuels Campaign (AFC). ANL scope is focused on the potential of using uranium nitride (UN) and mixed oxide (MOX) fuels in microreactors. This report provides a summary survey of available information related to those fuel systems, including properties, irradiation and performance data, as well as fabrication, and identifies data and technology gaps related to those fuel systems that needs to be addressed so they can be considered for use in microreactors.vi

“…This discrepancy originates from the higher power experience by MOX fuel at high burnup. The issue can be mitigated by adopting a larger plenum [53]. Additionally, in MOX fuel, the Pu-rich agglomerates experience locally higher burnup with large bubbles forming inside.…”
