MOX fuel, or Mixed Oxide fuel, is a type of nuclear fuel that contains a mixture of plutonium oxide (PuO2) and uranium oxide (UO2). The primary purpose of MOX fuel is to recycle plutonium that is produced in nuclear reactors or derived from decommissioned nuclear weapons. By incorporating plutonium into the fuel mix, MOX fuel allows for better utilization of nuclear materials and contributes to reducing the overall amount of nuclear waste.
