It turns out that this was intentional in this example/tutorial. There is a footnote about this here (https://fuelcycle.org/user/tutorial/mod_rxtr.html).

Since the fuel fabrication facility's model is to blend the input streams to find a reactor physics equivalent to the requested fuel recipe, the purpose of this tutorial is to have that facility produce MOX fuel that is the best possible match to the UOX recipe.
