ABSTRACT:
A process for the production of plutonium-containing mixed oxide nuclear fuel. The process comprises selecting a plutonium-containing solution, determining the plutonium isotopic composition of the solution, precipitating particulate plutonium oxide from the solution, forming a mixture comprising the plutonium oxide and a particulate uranium oxide, and forming nuclear fuel compacts from the mixture. The amount of plutonium in the mixture is controlled in accordance with a given equation.
