Plans to restart construction of a nuclear reactor in Aomori Prefecture, about 500km northeast of Tokyo, was met by contradicting sentiments from the host town and surrounding cities, Asahi Shimbun reports.
Electric Power Development Co. president, Masoyashi Kitamura, reiterated the significance of resuming construction of a nuclear plant in Oma during a town assembly. The Oma plant plans to use “mixed oxide (MOX) fuel” from reprocessed spent nuclear fuel to generate power, the world’s first nuclear plant to do so. “The Oma nuclear plant is an important power plant that will play a part in the nuclear fuel cycle,” Kitamura said.
