Sweden approves MOX use.
The Swedish government has given approval to load mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel into the 3-unit Oskarshamn power plant. This enables some 900 kg of separated plutonium to be utilised in the manufacture of fresh fuel at Sellafield, UK, for the utility. The material results from reprocessing of early Swedish spent fuel, up to 1982, when the present direct disposal policy came in. All of Sweden's spent fuel is now stored centrally at the CLAB facility pending disposal.
