This is an interview with Aileen Mioko Smith, the Executive Director of Green Action Japan. Here she states the group's opposition to Japan's fast-breeder reactor program and re-processing to extract plutonium as fuel. In the interview Ms. Smith also describes that nuclear power is actually quite an expensive form of electricity for Japan and how monopolies have grown up within the nuclear industry. TEPCO and the Japanese government work together hand-in-glove. Electric utilities are one of the biggest advertisers in Japan and, as a result, the media does not adequately report on the dangers of nuclear power since they are beholden to their advertisers. The rationale behind not evacuating Fukushima City, which is about 60km away from the melted down Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant and the capital of Fukushima Prefecture, despite it being heavily contaminated is also explained.

 France - Marcoule Nuclear Plant

I have been searching and searching for updated information about France's Marcoule nuclear site explosion, which was identified as being a MOX fuel site.  France has claimed it was an industrial explosion and not a nuclear explosion, but it happened at a MOX fuel producing part of the nuclear power plant.

[Editor's Note:  Below is the original French article piped through Google Translate]
"A level of radioactivity 10 times the daily measurement of Avignon and 4 times higher than the Mont Ventoux"

According to an article published September 13, 2011 on the website of the anti-nuclear coordination Southeast (see below), an "anomalous increase" of radioactivity on the detection of X-rays, Gamma and Beta particles have been measured within a radius of 120 km downstream of Marcoule.
 
On September 12, 2011 anti-nuclear members of the Collective have made the Vaucluse independent measurements of radioactivity in different parts of Vaucluse, Gard and Herault, see the statement below:

No "credible explanation" from the makers of the nuclear accident at Marcoule and the weight of the French nuclear lobby, the collective anti-nuclear states that the cause of this increase in radioactivity could be directly linked to the bombing in the Gard.
 
In the same article, said that the collective anti-nuclear Provence is the region most nuclearized of France and its inhabitants, like those of Fukushima or Chernobyl, are daily exposed to radiation produced by the nuclear industry and the dangers posed by the French sites Triscastin, Marcoule and Cadarache, located on active seismic faults [ 1 ].
 
Finally, the collective anti-nuclear states that in the Vaucluse area of ​​malfunctions in the center of nuclear radioactive waste processing (Centraco), would do "not his first attempt," he refers to it to the list very official of accidents and incidents recorded by the ASN (Nuclear Safety Authority).

8/8/2011 Unit 3 MOX likely melted through

Kyodo

MOX fuel that was believed to have been kept cool at the bottom of one of the reactors at the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant after its core melted is believed to have breached the vessel after melting again, a study said Monday.

The study by Fumiya Tanabe, an expert in nuclear safety, said most of reactor 3's mixed uranium-plutonium oxide fuel may have dribbled into the containment vessel underneath, and if so, the current method being used to cool the reactor will have to be rethought. This could force Tokyo Electric Power Co. to revise its schedule for containing the five-month-old disaster.

Tepco earlier said that the cores of reactors 1 to 3 are assumed to have suffered meltdowns, although the melted fuel was believed to have been kept at cool enough to solidify at the bottom of each pressure vessel after water was injected.

After analyzing data made public by Tepco, Tanabe argues it became difficult to inject coolant water into the pressure vessel after the pressure rose early March 21. He says the fuel at the bottom overheated and melted again over a four-day period.

5/19/2011 | Nuclear Physicist: Most Of The Plutonium MOX Fuel Nuclear Fallout Likely To Drop On The U.S As US Plutonium Levels At 20 Year Highs

As plutonium and uranium concentrations in the US hit their highest levels in 20 years a top nuclear physicists says most of the plutonium MOX nuclear fallout from Fukushima will drop on the United States.

In an interview with the Huffington Post, Nuclear Engineer Akira Tokuhiro, says most of the plutonium mox fuel nuclear fallout from the Fukushima nuclear power plant will likely drop on the United States.
