Plutonium Problem Lingers As Mixed-oxide Fuel Comes To Japan

TAKAHAMA, JAPAN - JUNE 27: A container of mixed oxide (MOX) fuel is unloaded from a freighter at Kansai Electric Power Co Takahama Nuclear Power Plant on June 27, 2013 in Takahama, Fukui, Japan. Protesters oppose outside the plant as this is the first shipment of MOX fuel since the meltdowns at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant arrived in Japan, which plutonium stockpile is already equivalent to 5,000 Nagasaki-type atomic bombs.
