As part of the XEMOX research project, a delegation from Subatech's Xenon team visited the French Mox fuel assembly plant Orano-Melox in mid January. The XEMOX project aims at unlocking possible secrets still present in Mox fuel by using the new hyper-sensitive gamma camera technology "XEMIS" including liquid xenon and used for the new 3-photon medical imaging at the Nantes University Hospital.
