Nuclear Weapons Free Zone Briefing Book: Energy Security

In order for a Korea-Japan Nuclear Weapon Free Zone (KJNWFZ) to be a long-lasting and effective arrangement, it will be necessary to assure that nuclear energy fuel cycle issues that relate to potential nuclear weapons development/production in Japan and the ROK are addressed to the satisfaction of each party.  Some sort of arrangement regarding these nuclear fuel cycle activities is needed that fulfills energy security goals of the ROK and Japan while offering both Koreas and Japan sufficient confidence in the other parties’ nuclear activities to allow the KJNWFZ to be meaningfully sustained.
