Magnox is a type of nuclear power / production reactor that was designed to run on natural uranium with graphite as the moderator and carbon dioxide gas as the heat exchange coolant. It belongs to the wider class of gas-cooled reactors.

Magnox Electric plc, which was created in 1996 to take ownership of the Magnox assets from Nuclear Electric and Scottish Nuclear. The remaining nuclear power stations of these two companies, seven advanced gas-cooled reactor (AGR) sites and one pressurised water reactor (PWR) site, were transferred to a separate company, British Energy , which ...

The reactors are named after the Magnesium-Aluminum Non-OXidising alloy, known as Magnox, used to clad the fuel rods. This alloy was chosen for its excellent corrosion resistance and ability to withstand high temperatures.

Magnox Ltd is responsible for the safe and secure clean-up of 12 nuclear sites and one hydro-electric plant's operation. Under the Nuclear Installations Act 1965, Magnox Ltd is licensed and the licence holder for 12 nuclear sites and one hydro-electric plant.

2023年11月7日 · NRS (formerly Magnox) is responsible for safely decommissioning and restoring the first generation nuclear and research sites across the UK. The new brand represents the joining together of 12 Magnox sites and the Dounreay site in Scotland.

The present report comprises a technical description of the MAGNOX type of reactor as it has been build in Great Britain. The Magnox reactor is gas cooled (CO2) with graphite moderators. The fuel is natural uranium in metallic form, canned with a magnesium alloy called "Magnox".

The Magnox Reprocessing Plant is a former nuclear reprocessing facility at Sellafield in northern England, which operated from 1964 to 2022. The plant used PUREX chemistry (based on tributyl phosphate (TBP)) to extract plutonium and uranium from used nuclear fuel originating primarily from Magnox reactors. [ 1 ]

Magnox reactors, developed in the UK in the 1950s and 1960s, were among the first types of commercial nuclear reactors to be built. They take their name from the “Magnox” alloy used to clad nuclear fuel.

Magnox is a type of nuclear reactor designed to run on natural uranium. It uses graphite as a neutron moderator and carbon dioxide gas as a heat exchange coolant. The name Magnox comes from the magnesium - aluminium alloy used to clad the fuel rods inside the reactor.

Magnox reactors were the first generation of nuclear power plants developed in the UK. They were CO 2-cooled, graphite moderated power reactors with natural uranium metal fuel. The name Magnox refers to the magnesium-aluminum alloy cladding on the metal fuel rods.
