The term MOX stands for Mixed Oxide and is used to describe any mixture of uranium and plutonium oxides … For LWR [light water reactor] fuel, MOX is formed into fuel assemblies that are very similar to standard LEU [low enriched uranium] fuel assemblies. As with LEU, the MOX is formed into cylindrical pellets, enclosed in zirconium tubes, or fuel rods. The fuel rods are arranged into a rectangular or hexagonal array. A typical MOX fuel assembly will weigh one tonne or more, of which around 500-600 kg will be MOX pellets. 1, record 5, English, - MOX%20fuel%20assembly

Controlled pore support prepared by heating borosilicate glass to 500-700 °C, when it undergoes a phase separation. Subsequent leaching of the borate component leaves a porous support with closely controlled pore sizes. However, it is not suitable for industrial purposes owing to its high price and lack of stability due to the continuous leaching of silica from the particles during prolonged usage in continuous flow systems, especially in alkaline media. Various methods have been employed to overcome the stability problem including the deposition of a surface coating of zirconium oxide by impregnating the controlled pore glass with a zirconium salt under vacuum followed by calcination to the oxide. 2, record 7, English, - controlled%20pore%20glass
