 IMA (International MOX Assessment)
A "Comprehensive Social Impact Assessment of MOX Use in Light Water Reactors"
The Research Director of the IMA project, Dr. Jinazaburo Takagi, together with the Research Sub-Director, Mycle Schneider, received the Right Livelihood Award for this study and activities relating to plutonium issues. The results of this project have been published in Japanese, English, French, and Russian.
