International media outlets report that the United States has received nearly 1.7 tons of highly enriched uranium from Japan.
The received uranium is considered key fuel for next-generation nuclear reactors and is expected to be used in advanced nuclear energy projects.
Reports further state that this transfer marks an unprecedented move in the history of the United States’ nuclear security administration.
It is worth noting that Japan was the first country in the world to be targeted by atomic bombings carried out by the United States during the Second World War.
