Fukushima Gov. Eisaku Sato on Monday said the prefectural government will not allow Tokyo Electric Power Co. to start using plutonium-uranium mixed oxide fuel at a nuclear reactor in the prefecture for the time being. The governor's statement could further delay the start of the nuclear power industry's MOX program and also affect the national government's nuclear fuel cycle policy.
