Pyongyang Is Not Our Only Nuclear Worry
h/t Belmont
As President Obama struggles to halt North Koreas and Irans further peaceful production of nuclear explosive materials, he needs to take care that he doesnt stimulate the nuclear-fuel-making aspirations of two American allies Japan and South Korea.
Unlike Iran and North Korea, which are each generating several bombs worth of nuclear-weapons fuel a year, Japan may open a plant that can produce eight tons of plutonium a year enough to make 1,000 to 2,000 nuclear weapons annually. Thats at least as many weapons as are in the entire U.S. operationally deployed nuclear force.
