In fact, it enters into the composition of MOX fuel – mixed uranium and plutonium oxide. By combining the Pu 239 produced by nuclear reactors with depleted uranium, MOX can be used

Mixed Oxide Fuels

MOX fuel, or mixed oxide fuel, is defined as a blend of uranium and plutonium oxides, which can also include thorium, although it is not commercially used. The fabrication of MOX fuel involves

Plutonium and Nuclear PowerPlutonium-238Plutonium and WeaponsResources of PlutoniumToxicity and Health EffectsNotes & ReferencesIt takes about 10 kilograms of nearly pure Pu-239 to make a bomb (though the Nagasaki bomb in 1945 used less). Producing this requires 30 megawatt-years of reactor operation, with frequent fuel changes and reprocessing of the ''hot'' fuel. Hence ''weapons-grade'' plutonium is made in special production reactors by burning natural uranium fuel to the ex...See more on world-nuclear ScienceDirect
