North Korea appears to be looking to make more bomb fuels at its main nuclear facility, experts say

Associated Press  

SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea appears to have started operating a light-water reactor at its main nuclear complex in a possible attempt to establish a new facility to produce bomb fuels, the U.N. atomic agency and outside experts said. Observers say light-water reactors are best-suited for electricity generation, but North Korea could adapt one at Yongbyon to produce plutonium for weapons. Shin Jongwoo, a military expert at the Seoul-based Korea Defense and Security Forum, said the Yongbyon complex isn’t used for producing civilian energy so outsiders suspect the reported light-water reactor operation is related to the North’s nuclear weapons program. But the Americans rejected Kim’s offer because it would be a limited denuclearization step that would leave North Korea’s already-built nuclear weapons and covert nuclear facilities intact.
