To promote reprocessing of spent light water reactor fuel and usage of plutonium in light water reactors by private enterprises, we are conducting research and development of reprocessing of the "FUGEN" reactor's uranium-plutonium mixed oxide (MOX) spent fuel and vitrification of high-level waste fluid.
In response to a request by Japan Nuclear Fuel Ltd. (JNFL), we are dispatching engineers and are training JNFL staff to support their uranium enrichment, reprocessing and MOX fuel fabrication operations.
