North Korea begins testing experimental reactor at nuclear site despite ‘denuclearization’ talk

“This shows signs that 5000 kilowatts of nuclear reactors are ongoing,” the report published Tuesday stated. “If the reactor is restarted as evidenced, this means that North Korea probably resumed plutonium production for nuclear development. This also means that North Korea can extend the pipes for cooling water discharge to the river (not near the river) in order to further conceal the operating condition of the nuclear reactor better and further make future monitoring activities more difficult.”
