The letter contains an urgent warning that the French state nuclear
company, Areva, is actively denying
the proliferation risks posed by reactor-grade plutonium contained in
Mixed Oxide Fuel. In view of the upcoming shipment of approximately 1.8
metric tons of plutonium in MOX fuel from France to Japan, scheduled for
March 6th 2009, the letter urges the IAEA to prevent this dangerous
cargo from leaving France and remind Areva and the governments involved
of the security risks their nuclear programs pose to the world.
