North Korea's Yongbyon Nuclear Plant

According to KCNA, North Korea has restarted processing fuel rods at its infamous nuclear plant.

The reprocessing of spent fuel rods from the pilot atomic power plant began as declared in the Foreign Ministry statement dated 14 April

This will enable North Korea to continue production of its nuclear weapons, which are a strategic deterrent to neighbouring threats – South Korea, USA, and Japan.

North Korea had partially dismantled the reactor last year after agreements entitled North Korea to aid in return, however both sides argue the other didn’t uphold their side.
