Re: Re: Re: Japanese Plutonium

Sorry, I should have been more specific. What amounts are being detected in the soil?

The advantage of MOX fuel is that the plutonium in it is not available for weapons. It's difficult to effectively burn nuclear waste or recycle it without plutonium being involved in some fashion. To oversimplify a bit, at some point you need to decide if you're going to burn it or bury it. I like "burn it."
