Japan, IAEA in Talks on Unreported Nuclear Materials

Japan is in quiet discussions with the International Atomic Energy Agency regarding significant amounts of plutonium and enriched uranium that were not reported or inventoried as required, Kyodo News reported on Thursday (see GSN, March 24).

Unexpected atomic materials were discovered in October 2010 within nuclear waste at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency's Oarai Research and Development Center in Ibaraki prefecture, according to high-level government officials. The waste had been placed there prior to the 1977 enactment of Japan's safeguards deal with the U.N. nuclear watchdog.

This just goes to show you that the accountability of our governing institutions, who have been responsible for the safety and security of the world's most volatile elements, are not dueing there jobs.

How long will it actually be before this material is in the wrong hands and used to create or threaten peaceful nations.

Sadly, IT IS already in the wrong hands and threaten free, innocent countries and all that lives within...

The stupidity of our governing bodies are really screwed up today, I agree.

so they were trying to have a secret nuclear program....perhaps thats one of the complications with the fukishima situation they could have been doing what the Israelis did with there nuke plant that they let america inspect it...show them the civilian nuke plant with the enrichment facilities located below the reactor to hide trace of the program....i may have mis interpertred the op but thats what i got out of it anyways

Oh no! Japan must be developing nuclear weapons! Time to invade before it's to late! You know what their capable of,right!

Actually my sarcasm was aimed at the present fear-mongering about Iran's nuclear energy development.

Much like the Iraqi WMD debacle Iran is accused of "possibly" developing nuclear weaponry.

Is that a reason to go to war? I think not.
