North Korea Notes:
- Jan 28, 2015, Talk of making a train from South Korea to North Korea to China and Russia. ? who, and how?
N. Korea. may be attempting to restart its main nuclear bomb fuel reactor after a five-month shutdown, a US research institute said Thursday.
Activity at the 5-megawatt Yongbyon reactor is closely watched because North Korea is thought to have a handful of crude nuclear bombs, part of its efforts to build an arsenal of nuclear tipped missiles that could one day hit America’s mainland.
Yongbyon, which has produced plutonium used for past nuclear test explosions, restarted in 2013 after being shuttered under a 2007 disarmament agreement. It has been offline since August.
Possible signs in satellite imagery from 24 December to 11 January that the reactor is in the early stages of being restarted include hot water drainage from a pipe at a turbine building that indicates steam from the reactor and growing snow-melt on the roofs of the reactor and turbine buildings.
The US-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, however, said that since the recent observation period was only about two weeks, it’s too soon to reach a definitive conclusion about what’s happening and more monitoring is needed.
The institute’s website, 38 North, published the findings.
Yongbyon can likely produce about one bomb’s worth of plutonium per year. A uranium enrichment facility there could also give it a second method to produce fissile material for bombs. It is not clear if North Korea has yet mastered the technology needed to make warheads small enough to be mounted on missiles, but each nuclear test presumably moves its scientists closer toward that goal.
North Korea has said it is willing to rejoin international nuclear disarmament talks last held in 2008, but Washington demands that it first take concrete steps to show it remains committed to past nuclear pledges.
The United States also rejected a recent North Korean offer to impose a temporary moratorium on its nuclear tests if Washington scraps its annual military drills with Seoul; Pyongyang claims those drills are invasion preparation. The US called the linking of the military drills, which it says are defensive and routine, with a possible nuclear test “an implicit threat.”

- Kim Yong-hyun, a professor of North Korean studies at Dongguk University in Seoul, said Pyongyang may be restarting activity there as a ploy to gain concessions from the West. He noted that North Korea sees the restart of the nuclear reactor in Yongbyon as something of a bargaining chip. Kim also said Pyongyang is strongly expressing that it will continue to work on its nuclear program.
- Professor Andrei Lankov, a North Korea analyst with Kookmin University in Seoul, said Pyongyang is unlikely to conduct any new nuclear tests for fear of alienating China, its key provider of economic assistance.
- “If they do nuclear test they might get themselves into more serious trouble with China and this is not what they want,” said Lankov.
- With joint U.S.-South Korea military drills scheduled in the coming months, tensions in the region will likely remain high.
