Work on a facility to convert weapons plutonium into reactor fuel is to be slowed down as the US National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) reconsiders its plutonium disposition strategy.The US Department of Energy's newly released budget request for 2014 calls for $320 million (£206 million) for the Mixed Oxide (MOX) Fuel Fabrication Facility (MFFF), being built at Savannah River in South Carolina by Shaw Areva MOX Services.
