United States Circumvented Laws
To Help Japan Accumulate Tons of
Plutonium
“The United States deliberately allowed Japan access to the United States’ most secret nuclear weapons facilities while it transferred tens of billions of dollars worth of American tax paid research that has allowed Japan to amass 70 tons of weapons grade plutonium since the 1980s, a National Security News Service investigation reveals. These activities repeatedly violated U.S. laws regarding controls of sensitive nuclear materials that could be diverted to weapons programs in Japan. The NSNS investigation found that the United States has known about a secret nuclear weapons program in Japan since the 1960s, according to CIA reports.” [see link above for the full article]
It’s now clear from the detailed article above that Japan – thanks to the USA – already HAS nuclear weapons capability AND the missile capability to deliver them – both of these capabilities developed covertly to hide the fact from the Japanese people. Hence the secrecy over Fukushima and Japanese governments’ secrecy over the nuclear programme from the beginning in the 1960s.
