Magnox refers to a type of nuclear reactor design that was developed in the United Kingdom during the early days of nuclear power. The name "Magnox" comes from the magnesium/aluminum alloy used for the cladding of the reactor's fuel rods. These reactors primarily use natural uranium as fuel and were designed to produce electricity as well as plutonium for nuclear weapons.
