  "notes": "The only MOX plant in the world operating at commercial scale, and effectively the entire industry. It takes plutonium separated at La Hague and blends it with depleted uranium for French reactors licensed to run partial MOX cores. Its existence is why French reprocessing has somewhere to send its product; without it, separated plutonium would simply accumulate, which is what has happened everywhere else.\n",
