North Korea nuke reactor likely starting up again
[North Korea nuke reactor likely starting up
again] "Washington — A recent satellite
image appears to show North Korea is
restarting a plutonium reactor, in a move
that could raise renewed international alarm
over its nuclear weapons program, a U.S.
research institute said Wednesday.
The 5 megawatt reactor at the Nyongbyon
nuclear facility was shuttered in 2007 under
the terms of a disarmament agreement.
Pyongyang announced plans in April to
restart it amid a litany of threats toward
the U.S. and South Korea after it faced
tougher international censure over its
latest nuclear and rocket tests."
