No.19 Webinar SPF China Observer, December 12, 2022
In this fifth FY2022 session, it has been argued that China's civilian plutonium is being diverted to military use. Given the arguments, we discussed China’s nuclear arms buildup by analyzing satellite images of nuclear fuel reprocessing facilities and fast breeder reactors.
The speaker of this session was Yuki Kobayashi, SPF Research Fellow and author of “China's Plutonium Production and Nuclear Arms Expansion.” The discussant was General (Ret.) Sadamasa Oue, Former Commander of Air Material Command Headquarters at the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF). Additionally, SPF Senior Fellow Bonji Ohara moderated the discussion.
