Is this the reactor with plutonium in the rods?

I don't know. Maybe someone can clarify...

All light-water-reactor fuel forms Pu — it is an expected product of irradiating the non-fissile Uranium. Typical fuel creates Pu. MOX (a mix of uranium-dioxide and Pu-oxide) starts off with a non-zero amount of Pu. It is normal to burn Pu in a light-water-reactor.
