The first generation Uranium Enrichment Plant in Rokkasho, Aomori operated 1992 to 2010 with a capacity of up to 1,050 ton-SWU/year, which is equivalent to the nuclear fuel used by 8 or 9 reactors at 1,000 MW-class nuclear plants. [1] [2] A second generation plant using centrifuges with composite carbon-fibre rotors started operating in 2011 ...
A plutonium-burning Monju reactor failed and is being decommissioned, while the launch of the Rokkasho reprocessing plant in northern Japan has been delayed for almost 30 years.
Greenpeace has opposed operation of the Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant under a campaign called "Wings of Peace: No more Hiroshima, Nagasaki. Stop Rokkasho", [17] since 2002 and has launched a cyberaction [18] to stop the project. Rokkasho was a candidate to host the plasma fusion reactor ITER, but lost out to Cadarache, France.

[38] [39] It has constructed the Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant, which could produce further plutonium. [38] Japan has a considerable quantity of highly enriched uranium (HEU), supplied by the U.S. and UK, for use in its research reactors and fast neutron reactor research programs; approximately 1,200 to 1,400 kg of HEU as of 2014.
