Reactor 1 at the Catawba Nuclear Station has been fired up and running with fuel containing weapons-grade plutonium for more than a week, and everything is going according to plan, a company official said.In May, one of my colleagues, Kevin McCoy, wrote about the MOX Project, calling it another non-proliferation success story.
The reactor was loaded with mixed-oxide, or MOX, fuel on June 5 and is now running at 100 percent, said Steve Nesbitt, an engineer with Duke Power, at a meeting last week with the Rock Hill Sierra Club chapter.
"So far, we have seen that the fuel is behaving exactly as expected," Nesbitt said.
