The main nuclear complex in Jonben’s county in the DPRK, used to produce fuel for nuclear weapons, resumed its work. This is reported by Sky News with reference to the annual report of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
According to the data received by the Agency from satellites, in early July 2021, the facility was discharged to cooling the reactor. A five-year-saving reactor produces plutonium – one of the two key ingredients used to create nuclear weapons.
IAEA also reports that from mid-February to early July in the area of the nuclear complex, signs of the radio chemical laboratory were found.
In February, the former I.O. The heads of the Embassy Mission of North Korea in Kuwait Ryu Hyun, who escaped from the country, doubted the possibility of denuclearization. According to the diplomat, the head of the DPRK Kim Jong Yun will not give up the nuclear arsenal. “Northern Korea’s nuclear power is directly related to the stability of the regime,” said Ryu Hyun.
In early January, the leader of North Korea Kim Jong Yun declared the country’s plans to improve nuclear weapons. He called on to improve nuclear technology, reducing dimensions and weight, increasing the strategic power of nuclear weapons, as well as developing universal strategic weapons for different objects and goals.
