    Download original submission
    For questions 1 to 5
    Chemical munitions have been found at a seaport in Japan, which were dumped by
    the then Japanese Military around the end of the Second World War. The
    Government of Japan has been investigating these munitions, removing them and
    making them harmless as they are discovered, with the cooperation from a private
    company which owns enough expertise.
    For questions 6 to 9
    The Government of Japan currently does not have a formal scheme or activity as
    described in these questions.
