North Korea May Be Making Fuel for a Nuclear Reactor and It's No Joke

The Atlantic Wire

By Danielle Wiener-Bronner

The U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University reported today that North Korea may be making good on promises to develop nuclear arms, by producing fuel rods necessary for a plutonium reactor and, therefore, to operate nuclear facilities. According to the institute, this marks a major development in the hermit nation's quest for nuclear weapons:

Commercial satellite imagery has identified facilities at the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center that may produce fuel for North Korea’s recently restarted 5 MW plutonium production reactor and the Experimental Light Water Reactor (ELWR) still under construction. The identification of these facilities indicates a more wide-ranging, extensive effort by North Korea to modernize and restart the Yongbyon complex dating back to 2009 than previously understood.

What does that little troll want know...

Power takes many forms and this may be the most insidious.

Imagine; Kim kung fooey (or whatever his name is), is NOT a whack job, but a powerful dictator with modern plans, utilizing modern technology and keeping the world at bay by keeping his country in the dark

No one can look in if there is no light.

It may be possible to one day awake to a smoldering NYC because of the norks.

How much money did the Kenyan promise to donate to help them along? Did he send poodle boy with a bag of money and a lot of bowing?

Gee, I hope this development doesn’t interrupt Obama’s tee time...

Well, if we ever awake to a nuclear-smoldering NYC, it will because of the traitorous excrements known as "Barrack Hussein Obama" and Hillary Clinton ...

Demons.

I have run the gamut of epithets and afaic the term is accurate.

Thank goodness those smug self righteous progressives prigs who elected the Bloomber three times will not have passed on due to excessive salt, sugared drinks, and second hand smoke but rather recycled by a fellow progressive third world turd.

I know, I know, granting the Norks third world status is really, really, really stretching it, but hey, it's the season for prezzies.

/sarc....or maybe not.

[ThunderSleeps]

This has got to be a mistake, we have an agreement with them. bammy trusts them... ;-/

This evelopment should certainly be news to Herman Munster.

Not surprising. Why is Dennis Rodman visiting them and increasing visitors by bringing more NBA players with him soon. Would they be the shills for transferring the money?

Merry Christmas to you TigerLikesRooster and your family.

If ANY money passes hands whatsoever, including selling NBA goods in Pyongyang, and/or getting a North Korea stipend or in-kind services in lieu of coaching the DPRK baskeball team, then Rodhamn is potential vilolation of State Dept. procedures manding a license to purchase or sell such items (under trade with emeny act) and

The US House Foreign Relations Committee can step up and put a stop this this nonsense here and now, and/or make Obama look foolish in the process. Where are some "nuts" on the part of Republican Party types??

[Popman]

...then Rodhamn is potential violation of State Dept. procedures manding a license to purchase or sell such items (under trade with enemy act)

Doesn't Rodman has to be human to in a violation of State Dept. rules...!
