Reactor core contains uranium dioxide fuel?

Often uranium dioxide is used as fuel in nuclear power plants either as UOX (uranium dioxide) or MOX (mixed oxides, typically uranium and plutonium). There are a number of other fuel types, however, and not all plants use uranium dioxide. The other fuel types include metal alloys, ceramics, and various chemical compounds other than oxides.
