An experiment investigating the behavior of different fuel compositions with high content of plutonium for the conditions of a BOR-60 reactor was performed in 1996–2007. The results of post-reactor studies of the experimental fuel elements with 40% PuN + 60% ZrN and 40% PuO 2 + 60% MgO are presented...
