“WE MADE IT UP The word "mox" was derived from the English slang term "moxie." In case you didn't know, "moxie" has long been associated with energy and vigor. The origin of this word traces back to the early 1930s, when America's most popular soft drink was called Moxie.”

“The United States began construction of the MFFF in 2007 in accord with the Plutonium Management and Disposition Agreement (PMDA) between the United States and Russia. However, due to the project's 350-percent cost growth and a 32-year schedule slip, both the Department of Energy and external independent analyses have consistently concluded that the MOX approach to plutonium disposition is significantly costlier and would require a much higher annual budget than an alternate disposition method, Dilute and Dispose (D&D).”
