Use of remix spent mixed fuel plutonium in the BN-1200 reactor [PDF]
Nuclear Energy and Technology, 2023 The VVER-1000 thermal neutron reactor can operate on mixed uranium-plutonium fuel with a content of reactor-grade plutonium up to 5% with a 100% loaded core. In this case, plutonium burns up to 56% of odd isotopes.

Breaking the hard-sphere model with fluorite and antifluorite solid solutions
Scientific Reports, 2023 Using the hard-sphere model with the existing tabulated values of ionic radii to calculate the lattice parameters of minerals does not always match experimental data. An adaptation of this crystallographic model is proposed by considering the cations and
