They entered into a ten year deal in 1999 and the government was supposed to start making fuel available in something like 2006... but it kept getting delayed. By the end of the agreement (late 2008), the government couldn't tell them when they could start delivery (they still don't know and are now shooting at 2016), how much they would charge, or whether they could commit to a consistent supply for a long period of time.
The Duke statement really translates to "when you get your act together... call us and we'll consider it again". Far from "we won't touch the stuff! It's too dangerous!"
Oh, and where are these other reactors using MOX?
France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland. Russia is getting started and China isn't too far behind.
And about #3 core. Have they got a camera in there yet? Has Tepco even examined #3 core? Not as far as I know, so how can anyone be making a claim as to what happened with the #3 core? Claiming, as you do that "... they knew already that MOX didn't have a thing to do with the #3 explosion..." is quite a bold statement without any science to back it up.
Sigh... the "bold statement" is you having the guts to talk to others about what the science says. While, yes, they have gotten cameras into parts of #3... they wouldn't need to in order to tell what is and what is not physically possible.
There has never been an explosion of the scale of #3,
That's "make it up" again. Perhaps you should look it up first.
You really have made some bold claims here. Unfounded, and non-science based, bold claims coupled with personal attacks. Hmmmm, what could that possibly mean?
That you're blind to the irony?
