North Korea Reportedly Continuing Uranium Production at Yongbyon

Just another sign that North Korea does not plan to give up its nuclear weapons and is in fact expanding their program:

The chief of the U.N. nuclear watchdog said Monday there are signs that North Korea is operating the Yongbyon nuclear complex’s uranium enrichment facility while carrying out construction work there.

Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), made the remarks amid speculation that North Korea appears to be preparing for what would be its first nuclear test since 2017.

“We have observed indications that the reported centrifuge enrichment facility at Yongbyon continues to operate and is now externally complete, expanding the building’s available floor space by approximately one-third,” Grossi said in a statement to the board of governors.
