Magnox
Videz
Magnox je družina britanskih jedrskih reaktorjev, ki so hlajeni s plinom (CO2) in moderirani z grafitom. Gorivo je naravni (neobogateni) uran. Ime "Magnox" je po zlitini magnox - zlitina večinoma magnezija in manjšega deleža aluminija. Ta zlitina se uporablja pri fabrikaciji jedrskega goriva.
Reaktor je primarno namenjen proizvodnji električne energije, se ga pa da konfigurirati za proizvodnjo plutonija za jedrsko orožje.
V Združenem kraljesvtu so zgradili 26 reaktorjev, skoraj vsi so upokojeni. Po eno enoto so izvozili v Italijo in na Japonsko. Severna Koreja naj bi razvila svoj magnox reaktor.
