China Told U.S. of Underwater Nuclear Plant in N.Korea
China obtained information in 2008 that North Korea has a secret underwater nuclear facility in its coastal waters, leaked U.S. diplomatic cables show.
According to a Sept. 26, 2008 cable from the U.S. Consulate in Shanghai disclosed by WikiLeaks, a North Korea expert in Shanghai announced this in a meeting about the six-party nuclear talks with Christopher Beede, the political and economic chief at the consulate.
The expert said the nuclear declaration the North submitted to China, the chair of the six-party talks, in May the same year was "incomplete" and Beijing had information that the North had a secret underwater nuclear facility. "For this reason, a debate has emerged within the Chinese leadership" over the six-party talks, he added.
The source said some Chinese leaders believed that "continued momentum in the six-party talks is critical to their success" and that "Washington must adopt a more flexible attitude." Others took the "incomplete nuclear declaration as evidence that the regime in Pyongyang is truly 'a ticking time bomb'" and regarded "Washington's tough stance on verification as a potential opportunity" to control the North.
But a senior South Korean Foreign Ministry official said on Thursday said the cable "is not true. If it were true, would participating nations of the six-party talks have kept quiet?"
sometimes dyslexia can really be fun! some of the things I *think* I read are hilarious ... until I go back and read them a second or third time...
Exactly. Never look back.
Underwater????
Wouldn’t all the uranium get wet....?
Its possible. United States Patent 4302291 contains the blueprints of a underwater nuclear plant.

These plants are fully mobile and also carry nuclear missiles.
Call Greenpeace.
I am sure they will send the “Rainbow Warrior” and a bunch of stoned hippies to confront the Norks. No?
Underwter facilities? The North Koreans cannot feed their own people and they have this type of technology? Someone is yanking our chain!
Time for Zero to issue Rules of Engagement to prevent any damage to this facility. Thanks TigerLikesRooster.
