Abandoning MOX Plant?

I'm conflicted on this one.

MOX (Mixed OXide) is the process where plutonium from nuclear weapons is mixed with uranium to make fuel for largely carbon free nuclear reactors.  So with this process we could be reducing two grave human ills, weapons and CO2.

On the other hand, the plant has an expensive and troubled history and the U.S. is highly in debt.

The issue is anti-kids too - that seems to be the theme today - we leave them with either debt, nuclear weapons, or heat.
