North Koreans face technical trouble in their reactors - another Chernobyl type disaster?

North Korea’s main nuclear reactor recently restarted operations after being suspended for about two weeks due to a technical problem, news reports said today.

The communist state halted work at its only operating reactor, in Yongbyon, for 10-15 days last month but reactivated it recently, Yonhap news agency reported, citing an unidentified intelligence official.

“It’s believed that the reactor was halted for a technical problem,” the official was quoted as saying. “It does not appear to be related to implementation of the 13 February agreement.” The official was referring to a deal in which the North pledged to close the reactor in exchange for economic aid and political concessions.
