Thermal images of North Korea’s nuclear research center indicates increased production of nuclear material for Kim Jong-un’s nuclear weapons stockpile, a U.S.-based think tank reports.
Scans of the Radiochemical Laboratory at the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center reveal marked increases in thermal activity, hinting at plutonium production, 38 North, a Washington-based North Korea monitoring project, reported. Researchers also detected increased thermal activity, possibly the result of centrifuge operations, at another facility dedicated to uranium enrichment.
North Korea ramped up uranium enrichment in September, leading experts to conclude that the North could produce six nuclear bombs per year, and the International Atomic Energy Association reported in March that North Korea has more than doubled the size of its uranium enrichment facility in recent years, pushing nuclear material production into a “new phase.”

This freak needs to be stopped. Soon.
Bunker-bust that fat f* right in his fat f*ing *ss.
How much damage could DPRK do to the US with low-yield fission weapons before DPRK ceased to exist?
I mean, seriously, attacking DPRK now, while they have substantial conventional forces and a warplan to kill millions of ROK citizens seems overly aggressive.
An 8kT explosion somewhere in the US would cause the annihilation of DPRK, all of its military and civilian leadership, and most of its people without incurring any substantial losses in ROK or elsewhere.
And, no, I do not believe in the “end of civilization” version of the EMP story.
Let's see - Hillary sold OUR stockpile of uranium to russia (for a big personal profit); 0bama allowed russia to sell uranium to iran; iran is an ally of the NORKs and is helping them to develop missiles and nukes, SO the NORKs could be sending OUR uranium back to us in the form of their nuclear warheads - THANKS TO THE CLINTON CRIME SYNDICATE!
Does Kim understand what will happen to him personally if he ever lobs anything at the US? Is he that dumb? Or does he think all these threats will give him leverage?
While that sounds like a plan, the wrinkle is that the Chinese would respond nuke for nuke (they have said that any radioactive fall out from NK will result in kind) and possibly Russia as well.
Just as the US will not trade Los Angeles for Seoul, China will not trade Shanghai for Pyongyang.
I wonder which future Democrat President will be signing our Unconditional Surrender?
Actually its northwestern China where the prevailing winds will take any fallout and into the Vladivostok area.
“Just as the US will not trade Los Angeles for Seoul, China will not trade Shanghai for Pyongyang.”
Let’s do a poll, how many are in favor of trading LA for Seoul SK?...
Stop Stop Stop

It is pure speculation. The Daily Caller is running a headline that is looking for a story that isn’t there.
We can’t look at the Norks clearly with this kind of unsupported hysteria.
Over and over the report says that the elevated temps may be the result of pumping warm water to keep the pipes from freezing. Imagine that, November to March winter thermal imaging......calling it weapons production.
Good grief, can we stop scaring each other?
Where are the NORKS getting the base material ,uranium, to begin with ,, diplomatic “shipping containers” of depleted (97% pure) Uranium from Hillary, the Awans and Mr Ketchup?
The following chronology summarizes in greater detail developments in North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs, and the efforts to end them, since 1985.

When I first read the headline I thought it said King Kong Un.
You have to admit it is fitting.
Remember, technically we’e still at war with them. We only signed an armistice, not a peace treaty.

Yep, she’s a winner, but Maxine Waters has more experience.
Wonder why they aren’t lining up behind crazy Maxine?
