The Nuclear Arming of Japan: Global Security Study No. 18. - book reviews

Japanese physicist Atsushi Tsuchida reminds us of the inextricable link between energy and weapons. This one really got my interest up. I used to ask my English students in Japan to try to talk about the nuclear weapons issue without mentioning Hiroshima. They couldn't do it I felt out of touch with what was happening myself. Here is what we could have talked about.

When Japan imported a ton of plutonium from France at the end of 1992, it triggered a tactical nuclear weapons race among the nations of Northeast Asia. This is an extremely convenient turn of events for nuclear arms proponents in Japan.
