2001年11月19日 · In four public sittings held on 19 and 20 November 2001, the Tribunal heard the oral arguments of each of the Parties. In their concluding statements, the representatives of the parties read their final submissions. ITLOS/Press 59: The MOX Plant Case (Ireland v. United Kingdom) /Request for provisional measures submitted by Ireland.

2001年10月25日 · This reprocessing plant is designed to reprocess spent nuclear fuel into a new fuel (known as mixed oxide fuel, or "MOX") made from a mixture of plutonium dioxide and uranium dioxide. The spent nuclear fuel reprocessed at the MOX plant comes principally from another plant at Sellafield, the Thermal Oxide Reprocessing Plant ("THORP").

1The MOX Plant cases refer to three linked sets of litigation arising out of a decision of the United Kingdom (‘UK’) to authorize the construction and operation of a plant to make mixed oxide fuel (‘MOX’).

MOX Plant系位于英国谢菲尔德连接爱尔兰海的一个核燃料厂，主要将使用过的氧化钸和氧化铀混合进而生产为新型核燃料－混合氧化物（Mixed Oxide），以供国外核电厂使用。

2001年12月3日 · That the United Kingdom has breached its obligations under Articles 123 and 197 of UNCLOS in relation to the authorisation of the MOX plant, and has failed to cooperate with Ireland in the protection of the marine environment of the Irish Sea inter alia by refusing to share information with Ireland and/or refusing to carry out a proper ...

In 1992 British Nuclear Fuels (BNFL) (a company wholly owned by the British Government), which is the owner and operator of the Sellafield site, applied for permission to build a plant to make mixed oxide fuel (or MOX) from a mixture of reprocessed plutonium dioxide and uranium dioxide.

The THORP plant is to play a key role in the process leading to the production of MOX fuel at the MOX plant. The process by which it is intended to produce MOX fuel at the proposed MOX plant can be described in simple terms as follows: spent nuclear fuel containing plutonium, unused uranium and fission products is to be transported to ...

The MOX plant was located in Sellafield, Cumbria in the Irish Sea. Its objective was to “reprocess spent nuclear fuel, containing a mixture of plutonium dioxide and uranium dioxide, into a new fuel which is known as mixed oxide fuel, or MOX” (Press Release 59).
