> They explicitly stay around just weeks away from being able to perform a nuclear weapons test

Do you have a citation for "weeks away"? Wikipedia only says "within one year": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_nuclear_weapons_progr...

There’s no citation, because why would there be?

But: if you consider the amount of nuclear generating capacity has (4th in the world, more than Russia), and its advanced space program, “within one year” probably means closer to “weeks or months” than “three hundred and sixty four days”.
