KYOTO -- Antinuclear groups have raised concerns that data concerning mixed uranium-plutonium (MOX) fuel to be burned in a Fukui Prefecture reactor later this year were falsified and are calling for the utility, Kansai Electric Power Co., to hold a public hearing on the issue.
Kepco officials, claim, however, that their own check of the data indicated there were no safety concerns and, because they have already addressed the issue, there is no need for a hearing.
