Nuclear-armed North Korea appears to have restarted its plutonium-producing reprocessing reactor in a 'deeply troubling' development, UN atomic agency says
This picture released from North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency shows what appears to be submarine-launched ballistic missiles during a military parade in Pyongyang, January 14, 2021.
North Korea is under multiple sets of international sanctions over its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programmes, which have seen rapid progress under Kim."Since early July, there have been indications, including the discharge of cooling water, consistent with the operation of the reactor," the International Atomic Energy Agency said in its annual report.
The possible operation of the reactor follows a recent indication that Pyongyang is also using a nearby radiochemical laboratory to separate plutonium from spent fuel previously removed from the reactor.
