Check out the Greenpeace protest against the MOX shipment to Fukushima in 1999:

1. Greenpeace fails again...

Gee - a video about how a Greenpeace protest failed to stop the shipment
and how Greenpeace lost their case in court.

Is there any other organization that trumpets their failures as much as
Greenpeace?

As for the MOX in Unit 3, Unit 3 does contain plutonium.

So does Unit 1, and so does Unit 2, ....

When will Greenpeace and the anti-nukes learn that reactors make plutonium.

You don't have to load in MOX in order to have plutonium.
After all, where did the plutonium that is in the MOX come from in
the first place?

2. Unfortunate timing too.

The MOX was finally loaded into reactor 3 back in October of last year. If they had put it in in '99, would it have been consumed by now?

Greenpeace Japanese against MOx

WASHINGTON--(ENEWSPF)--March 31 - A concerted Japanese citizen action that delayed the loading of mixed plutonium-uranium fuel – known as MOX – into the core of the Unit 3 reactor at Fukushima and prevented the use of MOX at several other reactors, likely prevented a far worse outcome than is currently occurring at the troubled reactor today.

Japanese citizen groups successfully resisted the use of MOX fuel at Fukushima-Daiichi for a decade. MOX fuel was not loaded into the reactor until August 21, 2010 and the reactor began operation on September 18, 2010. Consequently, all the MOX fuel remains in the core and none of it had yet been transferred to the unprotected fuel pool.

Last August, Beyond Nuclear’s radioactive waste watchdog, Kevin Kamps, was invited by Green Action Japan and their local Fukushima anti-nuclear environmental allies to travel to Fukushima specifically to speak about the risks of storing MOX high-level radioactive waste in storage pools.

“If the citizen groups had not been successful, there would have been a 33% load of MOX at Fukushima Daiichi 3 instead of the current 5% and there would have been MOX in the spent fuel pool,” said Kamps. “The activists have saved countless lives by preventing what might have been a worse disaster than is already taking place.” MORE AT LINK
