North Korea Makes Progress on Reactor

摘要

North Korea's continued construction of a light-water reactor (LWR) that experts say could be used to produce weapons-grade plutonium is "deeply troubling," International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director-General Yukiya Amano said last month. Addressing the IAEA Board of Governors at the start of its quarterly meeting on Sept. 10, Amano said Pyongyang has made "significant progress" on the reactor since the IAEA submitted its previous findings on the status of North Korea's nuclear program in September 2011.
