...there's nothing on Greenpeace's site about it and none of the main Japanese papers Thursday or Friday editions have any mention of it.
Here is a link to a Guardian story from July, it deals with the Japanese rejection of BNFL plutonium on the grounds that quality control data had allegedly been frabricated. Certainly BNFL has been hit hard by the Japanese refusal to use reprocessed Mox fuel since 1999 following an accident which resulted in two deaths. Tokyo Electric Plant company is refusing to use Mox at its plant due to safety fears but the government is trying to persaude the public that the fuel is fine.
BNFL built a £400 million plant for Mox, with Japan expected to create 40 per cent of its business. Hence BNFL is now getting desparate and its finances are not looking too hot.
The whole thing is a sham, costing the taxpayers from both Britain and Japan, but expect the governments to push Mox use through.
The Tokyo Electric boss had this to say at a conference: "We must get ahead of the anti-nuclear movement". He talks about how to push the use of Mox and gain good PR with the public so that they can "prevent the general public from being unduly influenced by actions of the anti-nuclear movement".

So I guess the top posting is wishful thinking, but who knows, opposition to their plans is obviously causing them to worry.
To get all the buggers talking about the beauty of nuclear power, go to :
