1977 Trans. Amer. Nucl. Soc. 26 268 (heading) Preliminary accident radiological risk assessment of a large commercial MOX fuel fabrication plant.

1993 Independent on Sunday 14 Nov. (Review Suppl.) 4/2 The plan is to combine plutonium and uranium oxides into an experimental fuel called Mox (Mixed-Oxide Fuel), which BNFL hopes can be burned in conventional reactors.

1995 New Scientist 25 Feb. 5/2 The Russo-German study suggests that MOX fuel from the proposed pilot plant could be used in the BN-600 fast reactor at Beloyarsk.
