New DOE Report: MOX Option Still Best Option

New DOE Report: MOX Option Still Best Option

Nothing has changed—the MOX option is still the best option for fulfilling America’s surplus plutonium disposal nonproliferation treaty with Russia in the most timely and efficient manner.
Yesterday’s Department of Energy (DOE) announcement that construction will continue at the MOX Fuel Fabrication Facility (MFFF) through FY2014 and their release of the Surplus Plutonium Disposition Options analysis revealed this singular point … nothing has changed.

1. The funding approved by Congress for constructing the MFFF in South Carolina will continue to be used for the purpose for which it was intended.
2. The prior DOE studies evaluating and identifying the MOX option as the best option have been confirmed in light of today’s budget, technology, and political realities.
