What I have read states that accident involved U fuel being prepared for the fast breeder, not MOX: http://world-nuclear.org/information-library/safety-and-security/safety-of-plants/tokaimura-criticality-accident.aspx …

"workers were preparing a small batch of fuel for the JOYO", weren't they? JOYO had been FBR developed for using MOX fuel.

It consists of a falsehood reported by Japanese government. There is no need the enriched uranium in Fast Breeder Reactor JOYO.

Uranyl nitrate is uranium. Not MOX. They were doing research related to making MOX. But the accident was not MOX.

MOX is obtained through Roasting Reduction Method after denitrating Pu- and U-nitrate solution separated from SP and refined.
