As part of studies on physical properties of low-decontaminated fuel pellets, simulated FPs (Sm$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ and Nd$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$) and impurities included at such as fuel fabrication process (Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ and SiO$$_{2}$$) were added to MOX, and their effects on thermal conductivity were evaluated. Addition of Sm$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ and Nd$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ in MOX, that can be solutionized, decreased thermal conductivity whereas addition of Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ and SiO$$_{2}$$, that don't make a solid solution with MOX, increased thermal conductivity.
