Antinuclear groups protest MOX shipments+

TOKYO, Japan - About 30 people belonging to four citizens groups protesting the use of nuclear power march through Tokyo's Shibuya Ward on July 20, carrying banners with messages opposing mixed oxide (MOX) fuel shipments to Japan and handing out leaflets to passersby. Two ships carrying MOX fuel, a mixture of uranium and plutonium from spent nuclear fuel, leave an English port on July 19 bound for the Takahama nuclear power plant in Fukui Prefecture and the Fukushima plant in Fukushima Prefecture.

In April 2004, U.S. occupation forces launched an offensive in Fallujah, 50 km west of Baghdad, but they encountered strong resistance from anti-U.S. armed groups, which prompted the U.S. forces to sweep the city in November of the same year. According to local doctors and citizens, the U.S. forces employed internationally banned weapons in their operation,

        (230312) -- TOKYO, March 12, 2023 (Xinhua) -- A sign that reads "do not dump contaminated wastewater into the sea" is pictured during a protest near the headquarters of Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) in Tokyo, Japan, March 11, 2023. Saturday marks the 12th year after a 9.0-magnitude earthquake hit northeast Japan, which is also known in the country as the Great East Japan Earthquake. On March 11, 2011, an ensuing tsunami also led to core meltdowns at the Fukushima power plant operated by TEPCO, resulting in a level-7 nuclear accident. The Japanese government said in January that starting in this spring or summer, over 1 million tons of radioactive wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant will be released into the Pacific. In front of the TEPCO headquarters in Tokyo, a large number of people gathered early Saturday to express their strong opposition to the discharge plan by holding various banners and signs, or handing out leaflets.

Fuel assemblies are the core of nuclear reactor. Engineers and researchers of Nuclear Power Institute of China have worked for years to develop China's own fuel assembly of commercial nuclear power plants, which was previously dominated by foreign technology. On Oct. 27, 2019, the first batch of 20 groups of CF3 fuel assemblies with independent intellectual property rights were loaded into nuclear power plant. The achievement marked that China has mastered the technology of high-performance nuclear fuel assembly and become one of the few countries owning independent intellectual property rights in nuclear fuel assembly design and manufacturing technology.
