Japan's Federation of Electric Power Companies has announced that a total of 400 tonnes of used nuclear fuel, instead of the originally planned 200 tonnes, will now be transported to Orano in France ...

Furthermore, there will be studies into a new MOX fuel fabrication plant at the La Hague site alongside studies for a new used fuel reprocessing plant at La Hague. La Maire said: “A new page in ...

Years ago, pluthermal energy was viewed as a dream way for Japan to generate electricity with nuclear power plants using plutonium-uranium mixed oxide (MOX) fuel. The beauty of the technology is ...

The recycled fuel can then be used to create mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel, which can run certain nuclear reactors. But the incompletion of the plant has left Japan with 19,000 tons of spent nuclear fuel ...

It applies to facilities that reprocess spent fuel and other material from nuclear power plants that use metallic and oxide fuels, including materials from mixed oxide (MOX) fuel and breeder reactors.

Advanced and innovative technologies are already implemented in a few countries to reprocess the spent fuel and recycle its usable materials, such as plutonium and uranium, through the fabrication and ...

Moltex's WATSS process for converting any uranium oxide fuel into molten salt reactor fuel has been validated on used fuel ...
