Tokyo, London agree on return of MOX fuel

TOKYO, Japan - Natural Resources and Energy Agency chief Hirobumi Kawano (L) and Anna Walker, the Energy Bureau chief of Britain's Department of Trade and Industry, shake hands July 11 in Tokyo shortly before reaching an agreement whereby tainted mixed uranium-plutonium oxide (MOX) fuel manufactured by British Nuclear Fuels PLC (BNFL) is to be returned to Britain from Japan. It came to light last year that quality-assurance data on MOX fuel shipments intended for use at two reactors in Japan had been falsified by BNFL workers.
