Nuclear Reactors 373 - Troubled Japanese Monju Fast Breeder Reactor May Be Decommissioned
Monju is the name of a sodium-cooled fast breeder reactor located at the Tsuruga Nuclear Power Plant in the Fukui Prefecture of Japan. Monju uses mixed oxide fuel (MOX) that is a combination of uranium and plutonium. It has three coolant loops and is capable of producing two hundred and eighty megawatts. Construction began in 1986 and first criticality was achieved in 1994.
