MOX Fuel

Pocket-Moxie!

MOX (Mixed Oxide) fuel is a late-stage nuclear fuel, it is a mixture of both Uranium and Plutonium isotopes. It is somewhat more expensive to produce, as it requires 2 types of fissile material instead of the usual 1. It runs similarly to Thorium fuel in a small reactor, but it lasts longer, however, in a large reactor it runs more akin to standard Uranium fuel. In the RBMK, it runs twice as strong as standard Uranium fuel in terms of reactivity and it makes more heat.

Production
It is either produced by mixing 2 Uranium fuel and 1 Reactor Grade Plutonium billet to produce 3 billets or 2 Reactor Grade Plutonium and 4 Uranium fuel nuggets to produce 1 billet.

Statistics
It produces 10 heat and lasts 150,000 ticks per rod.

Small Reactor
Heat statistics for the small reactor, being filled with 12 (complete fill) of each rod type and temperature counted in degrees Celsius (no external modifiers used):

Large Reactor
Heat statistics for the large reactor, checking every operating level and temperature checked in degrees Celsius:

RBMK
MOX RBMK runs hotter and more reactive than MEU, LEP, and to an extent, MEP-239 and HEU-235.

It has a flux function of: $$\log_{10}(x + 1) * 0.5 * 40$$

The function is considered medium danger and is of the "Logarithmic" type.

A Xenon-135 generation function of: $$x * 0.5$$

And a Xenon burn function of: $$x^2 * 50$$

Generic Reactor and ZIRNOX GCR
Depleted MOX fuel emits 50 RAD/s per piece when hot and 40 RAD/s when cooled.

When recycled, it gives 1 Reactor Grade Plutonium nugget, 1 Tc-99 nugget, 1 U-238 nugget, and 3 tiny piles of nuclear waste.
