North Korea Nuclear Reactor Resumes Operations
A nuclear reactor in North Korea that closed from December 2018 to July 2021 appears to have been reactivated.
The UN atomic agency said that a plutonium-producing reactor in Yongbyon, North Korea, appears to have resumed operations in violation of the United Nations Security Council resolutions. Gary Samore, director of the Crown Center for Middle East Studies, said the resumed operations indicate that North Korea is moving to expand its nuclear arsenal.
