Abstract
This describes a fuel assembly for utilizing plutonium fuel in combination with other nuclear fuel in a nuclear reactor core. The plutonium fuel is placed in a separate zone in the fuel assembly to take advantage of the characteristics of the plutonium fuel. Fuel costs may be reduced by mixing the plutonium fuel with natural or depleted uranium. Fabrication costs can be minimized by placing the plutonium in less than all of the fuel elements of the assembly.
