The possibility to increase of coefficient of quality of the MBIR reactor project at the expense of changeover to the vibrated МОХ-U-fuel on the basis of weapon-grade plutonium and fuel assemblies without fuel claddings is considered. It is offered to use the neutrons, leaving the reactor core, for transmutation of technetium-99 and carbon-14 in a side reflector of the reactor.
