"Two British ships arrived in eastern Japan on Monday to transport a shipment of plutonium — enough to make dozens of atomic bombs — to the U.S. for storage under a bilateral agreement.
[...]
Japan has accumulated a massive stockpile of plutonium — 11 metric tons in Japan and another 36 tons that have been reprocessed in Britain and France and are waiting to be returned to Japan — enough to make nearly 6,000 atomic bombs.
[...]
The Pacific Egret and Pacific Heron, both operated by Pacific Nuclear Transport Ltd., will take the 331 kilograms (730 pounds) of plutonium to the Savannah River Site, a U.S. government facility in South Carolina under a pledge made by Japan in 2014. The plutonium, mostly from the U.S. and some from France originally, had been used for research purposes."

 

USA ordered 331 kg (around 730 pounds) of plutonium  from Japan.

Will we see this again anytime soon? 

I bet if Trump gets elected he will know what to do with the 331 kg of plutonium :P

The route of the ship, and when it would depart was omitted from all the articles about this. I just wonder how much did the US did pay Japan to get back their 331 kg of plutonium and who is going to manufacture the Bombs or whatever they are gonna do with this massive amount, maybe the gun industry will be the next try for the US government to revitalize their economy.
