Large-scale mixed-oxide (MOX) use in nuclear power plants is being considered or implemented in various countries. Consequently, there is a need to develop or to improve the in-core management codes and to benchmark and validate them against experimental data. Based on 25 yr of experience, SCK-CEN and Belgonucleaire execute international programs dedicated to light water reactor (LWR) users concerned with plutonium recycle strategies. These programs (VIP, VIPO, VIPEX) have been and are executed in the VENUS, a critical facility for benchmark experiments.
