ABSTRACT:
A method and arrangement for utilizing mixed oxide fuel in the core of a nuclear reactor controlled by rectilinearly movable control rod elements which decreases the maximum single control rod element worth in the core. Fuel elements containing the mixed oxide fuel are positioned at discrete core locations, particularly at those locations receiving high worth control rod elements, thereby decreasing the worth of those control elements.
