Deepwater Horizon Inspections: MMS Skipped Monthly Inspections On Doomed Rig

Frontline: Unlike the United States, most nations that utilize nuclear power reprocess their spent fuel and recycle plutonium. Examples include France and Japan.



Response: To the contrary, most nuclear-industrial nations have abandoned plans for spent-fuel reprocessing, plutonium recycling, and breeder reactors. Even France and Japan, two of the few remaining plutonium stalwarts, have put their breeder reactor programs on hold, and are slowing down their reprocessing rograms. Britain, the other principal purveyor of plutonium, has cancelled its breeder and has no domestic plutonium program to speak of, because only one of its power-plants is suitable for using MOX fuel. The introduction of plutonium-uranium mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel in conventional light-water reactors is proceeding very slowly.
