[quote:Anonymous Coward 1295673:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzMyMTYwMDg0XzkyN0YwMTcx] [quote:Aquarius58:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzMyMTU5NjE4Xzc0MkVCRkZC] Link from the: http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1921203/pg1 http://blog.imva.info/world-affairs/hanging-thread The mixed oxide fuel (MOX) reactor[2], which burns with plutonium/uranium, is more deadly than those burning on uranium-enriched fuel, according to nuclear experts. The half-life of plutonium-239 in MOX is 24,000 years and just a few milligrams of P-239 escaping in a smoke plume will contaminate soil for tens of thousands of years. A single milligram (mg) of MOX is as deadly as 2,000,000 mg of normal enriched uranium meaning that one mg of MOX is basically two million times more powerful than one mg of uranium. If even a small amount of this potent substance escapes from the plant in a smoke plume, the particles will travel with the wind and contaminate soil for tens of thousands of years. [/quote] Plutonium is created by fission. All spent fuel on the planet contains Pu. MOX is not the only problem although it is a very dangerous compound. It burns hotter than normal fuel and the Fuku reactors were not designed to use it. There are many radioisotopes in play. Not much mention is made of that fact. [/quote]
