It is unacceptable to export technologies whose operation one does not want to risk oneself. The same public opinion that prevented the factory going into operation opposes the export.
Added to that is the proliferation risk. As the People’s Republic of China has no reprocessing plant, it cannot feed MOX production. Experts therefore think it likely that the factory is to be used for military purposes. For this reason export to Russia was not permitted already in 2001.
The network Réseau Sortir du Nucléaire declares its solidarity with the actions of the anti-nuclear movement in Germany against the export of the MOX factory.”
