Physics of Plutonium Recycling Volume VI: Multiple Plutonium Recycling in Advanced PWRs

Although the recycling of plutonium as thermal mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel in pressurised water reactors (PWRs) is now well-established on a commercial scale, many physics questions remain. The main question addressed in this report is the number of times plutonium can effectively be recycled in a PWR. T...
