MITO -- The Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Insititute on Wednesday started 
transferring residual uranium solution stored at a JCO Co.'s nuclear plant 
in Tokaimura, Ibaraki Prefecture--the site of last year's nuclear 
criticality accident--to the institute's reprocessing plant in the same 
village to remove fission products from the solution.

The solution was collected from a sedimentation tank at JCO's 
uranium-processing facility late last year following September's criticality 
accident and was temporarily stored in 20 stainless steel bottles in an 
earthquake-resistant container at the facility.
