Was wrong saying Duke *processed* plutonium. Should have kept to just using it as fuel. My bad.

Duke is not using MOX. You claim it is because it costs too much and I say it is because Duke thinks it is too dangerous.

Government has quite a pile of plutonium. Reactors create plutonium. The only place that I know of that admits to using MOX is Tepco at #3. That and Duke tried using it.

There may be others and if so, you can bet they are looking real close at what happened at the #3 explosion, which seems to be the worst case. The contention here is that it was the worst because of MOX. And we know Duke is not using MOX. You say price is why. That the government is charging too much for utilities to get rid of their plutonium problem. Can you find a statement by Duke saying that MOX costs too much?

Look forward to your link from Duke as you can look forward to the link wherein I saw Duke's claim of too dangerous.
