At times less than approximately 1 day after shutdown, the WG-MOX has decay heat values that are less than those of UOX for the same discharge burnup. The same is true for RG-MOX for approximately a 4 hour period after shutdown. Another parameter of interest is the decay heat ratio of MOX to UOX.

A parabola is a graph of a quadratic function, y = x2, for example. The line perpendicular to the directrix and passing through the focus (that is, the line that splits the parabola through the middle) is called the axis of symmetry. The point on the parabola that intersects the axis of symmetry is called the vertex, and is the point where the parabola is most sharply curved.
