Japan has enough plutonium to make 5,500 nuclear warheads: China

Chinese Ambassador to Russia, Zhang Hanhui, has claimed that Japan has enough plutonium to make 5,500 nuclear warheads. "If Japan has the will and the necessary capabilities, its transformation into a nuclear power no longer looks like a fantasy," he said. Japan is the only non-nuclear signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty having spent nuclear fuel recycling technologies, he added.
