MOX-USA Leads Bid for US Plutonium Fuel Plant
Aiken hosts MOX-USA as one of three teams vying to build and operate the first plutonium fuel fabrication plant. DOE plans in 1995 aimed to dispose of 53 metric tons of excess plutonium by mixing about 330 metric tons with aluminum to create oxide fuel for reactors, with 17 to 20 tons turned into glass and buried. Construction could cost up to $500 million and require 1,000 workers over 3 to 4 years, starting around 2007 and running to 2019 or 2020, at locations including Hanford Savannah River Idaho and Pantex, while MOX-USA competes with another bid from Washington state.
