Disillusioned
Why have they not made plans and taken steps to permanently store and to recycle the MOX fuel? Japan keeps complaining about being 'resource poor' and relying on nuclear power, but they don't seem to take any action to deal with the spent fuel. Their current plan is to send it to another country and pay stupid amounts of money for its storage and recycling. This is totally contradictory to the ever-present "Nuclear power is cheap and safe" statements that keeps popping up as a defense of nuclear power. - I'm curious to know if their ' temporary' storage pools have waterproof back up electricity and generators.

Buried in plutonium so they want to extract the uranium. Sounds reasonable.
