North Korea appears to have revamped a nuclear reactor used to produce fuel for nuclear weapons, according to a UN atomic watchdog based in Vienna, Austria.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in its annual report (pdf) that there have been “indications” of operation of a 5-megawatt nuclear reactor at the Yongbyon Experimental Nuclear Power Plant, “including the discharge of cooling water,” since early July 2021.
