(26,760 posts)All spent nuclear fuel from normal power reactors has plutonium in it (as well as the fuel in the operating cores of the reactors). Adding mox to the equation makes very little difference and very likely had no impact at all on the incident. There was, for instance, no spent mox in any of the fuel pools.
Chernobyl put out many MANY times more plutonium than Fukushima... and very likely had more plutonium in it when it blew up than any Fukushima reactor - because the Russian RBMK reactors were designed to produce plutonium for weapons.
Here is a report
The blog post you linked to is in no sense a "report". it's a pretty standard example of the lunatic fringe "woo" that draws so many astray. He's entirely divorced from reality. Gotta laugh at the map at 8:25 that he's still using.
