According to the agreement, the U.S. exceptionally allows Japan, a non-nuclear state, to extract plutonium through nuclear waste reprocessing and enrich uranium on condition that it doesn't use them for manufacturing nukes. It is valid for thirty years once it takes effect and if one party informs the other of annulment, the agreement is automatically abrogated six months later. The U.S. and Japan have renewed the agreement by not demanding abrogation or amendment each other till July, its expiry month. So, Japan has come to continuously hold the "privilege" of extracting plutonium from nuclear waste and enriching uranium.

Commenting on the fact, Minju Joson Saturday says:

The renewal of the agreement is just a product of the cahoots between an island country which seeks to realize nuclear weaponization at any cost under its American master's wing and the U.S. which seeks to use Japan as a shock brigade for realizing its strategy for dominating Asia.

Japan's wild ambition for nukes has reached its height.

A matter of serious concern is the double-standard of the U.S. which raises unilateral and brigandish demands against the DPRK while conniving at and encouraging the nuclear ambition of Japan, a would-be nuclear criminal and war criminal state and defeated nation.

The U.S. poured oil into the burning desire of Japan for nukes through the automatic renewal of the atomic energy agreement.

This proves that the U.S. adds fuel to Japan's nuclear ambition.

However, nuclear weaponization of Japan will not meet the U.S. interests.

The U.S. should refrain from such dangerous act which threatens the destiny of mankind and will put its own at stake at last.
