Mixing it up: American nuclear power gets a lesson in MOX

摘要

Raise your hand if you know what MOX is. Go ahead. Don't be shy. (No one's probably in your office anyway.) Don't worry. I didn't know either. But, you see, there was this article from The Moscow Times that I was reading―an editorial, really―discussing the pros and cons (mostly cons) of shipping Russian plutonium to the U.S. for use in nuclear power plants. Yeah. I made the same confused face. So, I went looking for answers. And, when it comes to MOX in the U.S., those answers lie in one place: Duke Energy.
