此前国际社会高度关注，多国发出声音希望日本解决，而后日本曾经以把部分武器级的钚运往美国作为处理手段，由美方将这些武器级的钚进行稀释，稀 释到民用核设施可以使用的丰度，但是这种做法并没有从根本上解决问题。 现在大家仍然看到，日本在采矿精炼使用处理方面，拥有核燃料使用的整套设备和能力。也就是说，日本如果想生产大量的武器级的钚，可以在短期之内 达成目标，这本身就是重要的风险点。 每经编辑｜程鹏 向江林 11月21日，在国际原子能机构11月理事会期间，中国常驻国际原子能机构代表李松表示，日方近期军事安全动向在国际上引起高度关注，暴露了日方政策 的重大负面转向，释放出危险信号。 针对日本新政府对"无核三原则"的模糊表态，中方在此时强调必须要对日本严加管束，有何含意？ 特约评论员苏晓晖表示，长期以来日本一直以核能发展掩盖其制造核武器的能力，日本国内存储过量的核材料，这其实是一个老问题。 自民党参议院议员宫泽洋一表示，"看不出重新审视（'无核三原则'）的好处"，并称现在完全没有必要刻意去修改。自民党众议院议员、法务大臣平口洋 也表示，希望继续坚持"无核三原则"。自民党众议院议员寺田稔则强调，绝对不应该推进修改"无核三原则" ...
