Abstract
A fuel element approach that is an alternative to uranium-plutonium mixed o xide (MOX) fuel and inert matrix fuel is reviewed. It is designed to burn c ivil and weapons-grade plutonium in light water reactors (LWRs). The result s of preliminary research reactor tests are given. (C) 1999 Elsevier Scienc e B.V.
