A 38 North exclusive with analysis by Nick Hansen
October 2, 2013
New commercial satellite imagery from September 19, 2013 provides further evidence that North Korea has restarted its 5 MWe plutonium production reactor located at the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center.
Imagery shows hot waste water being released into the Kuryong River from a recently installed drainpipe, part of a new secondary cooling system completed in summer 2013.
This release of hot water indicates that the reactor is in operation and the turbine powered electrical generators are producing power.
