	Aomori Prefecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aomori Prefecture is the northernmost prefecture on Honshū and faces Hokkaidō across the Tsugaru Strait.
		On January 1, 2006 the town of Nanbu merged with the town of Nagawa and the village of Fukuchi from Sannohe District to form the new town of Nanbu.
		The two major dialects of Japanese spoken in Aomori Prefecture are Tsugaru-ben (津軽弁) and Nambu-ben (南部弁); the former is prevalent in the area around Aomori City, and the latter is heard in and around the city of Hachinohe.

		Rokkasho is also the site of a reprocessing plant slated to go into operation in 2003.
		The Aomori prefectural government, however, says it will now postpone signing a safety agreement with Japan Nuclear Fuel Corporation, a consortium of power companies that is building the Rokkasho plant.

		The Rokkasho reprocessing plant is just one of many buildings that sit on about 3.8 million sq.
		Originally conceived as a storage area for oil in the event Japan lost its Middle East supply, the town of Rokkasho became a center for the nation's expanding nuclear energy program in the 1980s, when the government decided to build a uranium enrichment plant and a low-level radioactive waste-disposal center in the area.
		About 145,000 drums of low-level waste from nuclear power plants all over Japan are currently buried at Rokkasho, and the plan is to expand the facility to the point it will be able to hold 3 million drums.

		The Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant [RRP] will have a capacity to reprocess 800 tonnes of spent fuel a year, with the spent nuclear-power reactor fuel having an average total plutonium content of up to 0.9 per cent.
		The Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant is steadily accepting spent fuel at its Spent Fuel Storage Facility and is promoting the construction of additional key reprocessing facilities with an eye to complete them in July 2005.
		During 2002, the development and implementation of a safeguards approach for the Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant in Japan proceeded according to schedule.

	RedOrbit - Science - Anti-Nuclear Groups Express Concerns Over Japanese Reprocessing Plant
		Aomori, Japan, 31 March: Japan launched a test run Friday [31 March] of its first full-fledged spent nuclear fuel reprocessing plant in a nuclear fuel cycle complex located on the northern tip of Japan's largest main island of Honshu.
		The Rokkasho plant is Japan's first commercial-basis reprocessing plant and is much bigger in scale than a pilot plant built in another nuclear complex in Tokaimura, Ibaraki Prefecture in eastern Japan.
		Aomori Governor Shingo Mimura and neighbouring Iwate Governor Hiroya Masuda both urged Japan Nuclear Fuel to ensure the safety of the reprocessing plant and make utmost efforts to gain understanding from local residents for the project.

		The state also said a plane crash is unlikely to occur because military drills take place far away from the facility and planes are generally banned from flying over the plant.
		It ruled out the possibility that an accident similar to the one in Tokaimura would occur in the Rokkasho facility, saying its purpose and operations are different from the JCO plant.

		The chances of Rokkasho getting the plant looked slim, since many of the top technicians at the existing reprocessing plant are in fact French.

	Omega-News: Rokksho Protest
		The unloading of thirty-one tons of depleted uranium at Mutsu-Ogawara Port on the morning of Monday 20th was greeted by protests from people concerned about the risks of proliferation and radioactive pollution posed by the operation of the plant.
		The concerns held by 80% of the citizens of Aomori remain unresolved and there is still no prospect of using the 40 tons of plutonium that Japan already owns, let alone the plutonium that will be extracted at Rokkasho.
		By moving this one step closer to commencing commercial operations at Rokkasho, Japan is going against the commitment it made to the international community to not hold excess stockpiles of plutonium*.

		The current one in the village of Rokkasho, in the northeastern prefecture of Aomori, is slated to end operations by about 2045.
		The companies plan to obtain a combined 1.6 tons of plutonium to be reprocessed from spent nuclear fuel at the Rokkasho plant by the end of fiscal 2006.
		But the Japanese government's position is that even though the Rokkasho facility has yet to go into operation, it is an existing facility and therefore outside the scope of ElBaradei's proposals.

		The Rokkasho plant is being built by a consortium of electric power companies at a cost of 2.2 trillion yen.
		If the project is canceled, the relationship of trust between the nuclear industry and Aomori Prefecture will collapse, possibly leading to the suspension of spent-fuel shipments to the Rokkasho plant.
		It remains to be seen whether the Rokkasho plant will be able to reprocess 800 tons of spent fuel a year as scheduled.

		In addition, Japan Nuclear Fuel Limited (JNFL) is now constructing a commercial-scale plant at Rokkasho, Aomori prefecture, which will enter commercial operation in mid-2000 according to the official plan.
		Given the limited capacity of the Tokai plant together with Japan's policy that no new contracts be made with overseas reprocessors, Japan cannot reprocess all of its accumulated spent fuel.
		Even if the Rokkasho plant starts full commercial operation in the mid-2000s as planned, the plant's reprocessing capacity of 800 metric tons and storage capacity of 3000 metric tons of heavy metal will absorb only a small portion of the accumulated spent fuel along with that which will be discharged annually.
