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.

According to the current plan, Japanese electric power companies will be implementing Plutonium-Thermal utilization (MOX) with 16 to 18 of the nuclear reactors operating in Japan. In late October 2010, work formally got under way on a 130 tonne/year J-MOX fuel fabrication plant, which is located on the same site as the Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant.
The resulting mixture keeps the plutonium at all times in an unseparated gamma and alpha emitting actinide form, that is also mildly self-protecting in theft scenarios. [ 6 ] PUREX ( plutonium uranium reduction extraction ) is a chemical method used to purify fuel for nuclear reactors or nuclear weapons . [ 7 ]
Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant. The documentary reports on the issues surrounding the construction of the Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant in Aomori Prefecture, especially focusing on the lives of the nearby residents who, while nervous about the dangers of radiation, continue living near the plant. It also covers the protests against the plant.
