rare!Japan gave France

According to a report on June 24th, the Japanese atomic energy research and development agency released news on the 24th that the lack of fuel for the new conversion pile "Puxian" (being carried out in reactor scrap operations) in Fukui County signed it with French companies to conduct it. The contract is processed. The extracted 钚 will be transferred to the French side. According to the contract, the agency will pay 250 million euros for the transportation and re -processing of fuel.

It is reported that because the lack of fuel for "Puxian" was not where he went in Japan, the agency had previously been prepared for transportation to France. Among them, it is useless for the agency, so it is disposed of in a rare way to transfer to foreign countries. The high radioactive waste generated during the processing process will be shipped back to Japan.

The report also stated that there are 731 lack of fuel for "Puxian", and it is expected to take about 1.3 tons of crickets by re -processing.

The report introduced that the output power of "Puxian" was 165,000 kilowatts. It started official operation in 1979 and stopped operation in 2003, and strived to complete the scrap work in 2033. Although the lack of fuel was re -processing the facilities located in the institution in Ibaraki Prefecture, because the facility decided to close, the unsolvily lack of fuel was residual in the facility of "Puxian" and Ibaraki Prefecture.
