From the publication:
SPECIAL REPORT AIR TRANSPORT OF PLUTONIUM OBTAINED BY THE JAPANESE FROM NUCLEAR FUEL CONTROLLED BY THE UNITED STATES Paul Leventhal, Milton Hoenig and Alan Kuperman I. Overview of the Problem President Reagan may soon approve and submit to Congress a new nuclear cooperation agreement that his Administration has negotiated with Japan. The agreement would give Japan advance approval to reprocess, over the next 30 years, U.S.-supplied and -controlled nuclear fuel after it is removed from Japanese power reactors. The reprocessing of the spent fuel would result in chemical separation of plutonium for use as a fuel in Japan's nuclear power program. If the new agreement is approved by the President and is not rejected by Congress, the Japanese will have a blanket authorization to separate all the U.S.-controlled plutonium produced in Japanese reactors. This plutonium will make up most of the 85 metric tons [187,000 pounds] of plutonium that will be produced in Japanese spent fuel by the year 2000.
