      The nation of Japan will turn over their supply of sensitive nuclear materials, which could be used for

the making of bombs, to the United States of America for downgrading and safe disposal.

U.S. President Barack Obama and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe stated that all uranium

and plutonium would be removed from the Fast Critical Assembly at the Japan Atomic Energy 

Agency. Though plutonium and uranium are used for research purposes as well as fueling power 

plants, they are also essential ingredients to nuclear weapons, a partial reason for the

Fast Critical assembly, to study the physics of these so-called "fast reactors."

This effort involves the elimination of hundreds of kilograms of nuclear material, furthering our 

mutual goal of minimizing stocks of HEU (highly enriched uranium) and separated plutonium 

worldwide, which will help prevent unauthorized actors, criminals, or terrorists from acquiring 

such materials," said the joint statement released by the White House.
