	Japanese atomic program Summary
		The Japanese atomic program was a program by the Empire of Japan to develop a genshi bakudan (sometimes incorrectly called genzai bakudan), an atomic bomb during World War II.
		A separate atomic program of the Japanese navy was also in progress in 1942.
		The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and August 9 led to the Japanese surrender on August 15, 1945.

	Japan's Mox Program
		The Japanese electricity industry intends to continue its efforts to garner support and understanding from related parties in order to carry out the MOX utilization program in accordance with this policy.
		The Japanese utilities intend to convert plutonium recovered at RRP into MOX fuel at the Rokkasho MOX fabrication plant that will be built adjacent to RRP and is expected to start operations in FY2012.
		The plutonium utilization plans of the Japanese electric utilities were reviewed and concluded as appropriate by the AEC on January 24, 2006.

	Military History: Invasion Japan
		The reluctance of Japanese soldiers to surrender in the island battles, fighting to the death or committing suicide, was further evidence.
		The estimate for Japanese troops to be on Kyushu in November was 350,000.
		Lt. General Takeo Yasuda of the Japanese Army decided in October 1940, that such a weapons program was worthy of study and the Japanese atomic program commenced in July 1941 under the guidance of Dr. Nishina.

	Second World War Books Review
		With Japanese troops facing certain defeat, a small detachment from Unit 731 attempted to halt the advance of the enemy by contaminating the Khalkin-Gol River with typhus, paratyphus, and cholera while the remaining Japanese forces retreated.
		Ironically, Japanese wartime propaganda accused the Soviets of conducting RW as early as 1935, and Japanese army officers used this as a pretext to justify RW research to U.S. intelligence officers after the war.
		In short, though the Japanese army, like the Red Army, certainly had developed a serious interest in bacteriological warfare, no responsible IJA source accepts or authenticates the allegations that the Kwantung Army tried to poison the precious river water upon which its own forces were as dependent as the Russians and Mongolians must have been.

	HIROSHIMA BOMBING
		During World War II, the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, were destroyed by atomic bombs dropped by the United States military on August 6 and August 9, 1945, respectively, killing at least 100,000 civilians outright and many more over time.
		This figure is based on the registered population, used by the Japanese in computing ration quantities, and the estimates of additional workers and troops who were brought into the city may not be highly accurate.
		A young officer of the Japanese General Staff was instructed to fly immediately to Hiroshima, to land, survey the damage, and return to Tokyo with reliable information for the staff.

	Iraqi Nuclear Weapons - Iraq Special Weapons
		Iraq had a very well-funded nuclear weapons program aimed at the indigenous development and exploitation of technologies for the production of weapon-usable nuclear material and the development and production of nuclear weapons, with a target date of 1991 for the first weapon.
		The Iraqi calutron program was largely indigenous and was an improvement over the technology used by the United States in the 1940's.
		The leader of the Iraqi enrichment program, Dr. Jaffar, initially claimeed that the primary aim of the programme was to develop a technological and industrial infrastructure, and that enriched uranium was needed for the research reactors and for a future nuclear power program.

	AMERICAN FUTURE - Trying to make sense of a world in turmoil » Japan
		If the Japanese are to be dissuaded from transforming their country from a potential to an actual nuclear power, it is essential that the North Korean nuclear weapons program be eliminated, preferably through diplomatic means, but, if necessary, by force.
		Unidentified Japanese analysts said that the rising threat from North Korea was likely to help the country's political leaders persuade the public of the need to strengthen military ties with the U.S., transform Japan's SDF into a full-fledged military, and eventually revise Japan's pacifist Constitution.
		The Basic Atomic Energy Law of 1956 limits research, development, and utilization of nuclear power to peaceful uses, and, beginning in 1956, national policy has embodied "three non-nuclear principles"—forbidding the nation to possess or manufacture nuclear weapons or to allow them to be introduced into the nation.

		Of the estimated 400,000 "Atomic Veterans," 22,000 have participated in the Ionizing Radiation Registry.

	AMERICAN FUTURE - Trying to make sense of a world in turmoil » The Decision to Use Atomic Weapons Against Japan ...
		The Japanese planners were convinced that they could shatter any invasion force so that the demoralized Americans would back off and they would accept a less than unconditional surrender on face-saving terms.
		The Japanese had a national slogan: one hundred million will die for the Emperor and nation — and few doubted that they were, as a whole, prepared to fight to the death.
		According to the officer, who used a pseudonym in the article because he was afraid of retalliation by occupation forces, the program was able to assemble a complete nuclear weapon in a cave in Konan and detonate it on August 12, 1945 on an unmanned ship nearby.

	Japanese atomic program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the 1930s, the scientific community in the world started to understand the power of nuclear energy, and Imperial Japan, like many other governments, was made aware of the possibility of developing a weapon which utilized nuclear fission as the source of its energy.
		A separate atomic program of the Imperial Japanese Navy was also in progress in 1942 [1].
		This submarine, Unterseeboot 234 (U-234) was sent to Japan in 1945 to deliver 560 kg of unprocessed uranium oxide for the Japanese program, as well as a disassembled Me-262 jet fighter and parts for some German-designed missiles (which would have been of little use for a primitive nuclear weapon) [4].

	Japan's WWII A-bomb Project in Hungnam, N Korea
		Japanese Atomic Program (PhysicsToday) -- The Japanese atomic program was a program by the Empire of Japan to develop a genzai bakudan, an atomic bomb during World War II.
		Most experts believe that the program was small, and managed neither to refine enough uranium-235 nor to breed enough plutonium needed to make a workable device, although there are indications that Japan had a more sizable program than is commonly understood.
		Had we waited two weeks, the Japanese atomic bomb would have been used on our Allied fleet, and this was one of the reasons they kept dragging their feet to give up.

		Japan was working on its own atomic bomb when the United States dropped atomic bombs on two Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.
		According to Japanese science historian Tetsu Hiroshige, preliminary research for a Japanese bomb program began in 1940, and the program called F-Go, or No. F (for fission), began at Kyoto in 1942.
		As a reprisal, the Japanese were going to place all the camp residents in barges and sink them in the Java Sea.

		The juxtaposition of these sites points to the striking contrast between the two worlds which created them: one which reveres and lives in harmony with the natural world, and one which, in striving to control the forces of nature, has created a means for its destruction.
