WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States
and Japan have completed the removal of all highly enriched uranium and
separated plutonium fuels from Japan’s Fast Critical Assembly research
project, the two countries said on Friday.
Announced alongside the Nuclear Security Summit in
Washington, the transfer makes good on a 2014 agreement at a previous
non-proliferation summit to move the material from the site in Tokai
Mura, Japan to the United States, the countries said.
“It furthers our mutual goal of minimizing stocks of (highly enriched uranium) HEU
and separated plutonium worldwide, which will help prevent unauthorized
actors, criminals, or terrorists from acquiring such materials,” the
United States and Japan said in a joint statement released during the
Nuclear Security Summit in Washington.
