Fukushima #3 Using Plutonium Fuel?
According to this article, the recently exploded reator number 3 at Fukushima was using "mox" as a fuel. QUOTE: "Last year, unit 3 began using some reprocessed fuel known as "mox," a mixture of plutonium oxide and uranium oxide, produced from recycled material from nuclear weapons as part of a program known as "from megatons to megawatts." UNQUOTE http://www.dispatch.com/live/content...g.html?sid=101 This raises the stakes substantially if the core has been breached. Plutonium is poisonous as all hell in addition to its high radioavtivity and incredibly long half life. Dave |
