ROK Military Says North Korea Has Restarted Their Yongbyon Nuclear Reactor
|The ROK military is reporting that the North Koreans have their nuclear reactor up and operating again:
The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) believes that North Korea’s five-megawatt nuclear reactor in Yongbyon is in operations.
Cho Bo-keun, chief of the JCS’ national defense intelligence department, presented the assessment Monday in response to lawmakers’ questions during a parliamentary audit of the JCS. [KBS World]
You can read more at the link, but it is pretty clear that the North Koreans are eager for some kind of pay day to once again shutdown their nuclear reactor. The problem the North Koreans have is that no one wants to fall for this trick again and pay them to shutdown their reactor to only have them turn it back on again when they need more money.
