North Korea stages another nuclear blackmail – processes 6 to 8 more nuke bombs
In a relentless spree of holding the world against the wall, North Korea plans to process another six to eight plutonium bombs. Their attitude is give us what we need or else! The tactic may not work though. They may be getting into that twilight zone where they are taking enormous security risks.
North Korea has shut down its 5-megawatt Yongbyon nuclear reactor and might be preparing to remove the fuel rods, South Korean officials said April 18. North Korea told a visiting U.S. scholar earlier in April that Pyongyang intended to unload and reprocess some 8,000 spent fuel rods from the reactor, creating enough plutonium for six to eight nuclear weapons. A South Korean Foreign Ministry official, speaking to Yonhap, said it would take months before the fuel rods could be removed, as they must be cooled first.
