North Korea sends inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), who controlled frozen nuclear facilities. The notice of this was sent today by Pyongyan to the General Director of the IAEA Mahammad al-Baradei. This was announced on Friday by the British television company Sky TV with reference to sources in South Korea.
This decision, as the message of the TSAC news agency obtained here, is explained by the fact that since the DPRK began to launch its objects, "their mission has automatically ended."
According to Sky TV, this step was Pyongyang’s response to continuing criticism from the United States by the decision of the North Korean authorities to resume the work of the nuclear reactor, stopped in 1994 as part of an agreement with the United States.
At the beginning of the week , North Korean specialists removed control equipment and video surveillance cameras installed by the IAEA on the reactor. Magate condemned these actions of Pyongyan .
According to a high -ranking employee of the secretariat, the DPRK began to implement its nuclear program, despite the requirements of the world property about the termination of activities going beyond the contract on non -proliferation of nuclear weapons and agreements with the IAEA.
According to the IAEA, Pyongyang continues to work on the restoration of a 5-megavat reactor at an experimental nuclear power plant in Enben, evidence of which is the load of this reactor with a new uranium-plutonium fuel.
In the DPRK there are two Magate inspectors. According to one of them, it is necessary to restore seals and electronic tracking cameras for the safety of the North Korean nuclear power plant so that the DPRK complies with the agreement of 1994 on atomic safety and abandon its nuclear programs.
The DPRK suspects the United States of preparing a coup in the country
North Korea suspects the United States of preparing a coup in the country - at least this is how the US officials interprets here. Recall that the States require the DPRK to abandon the nuclear program - and then it will be possible to start bilateral negotiations on this problem.
The official North Korean news agency Tsat believes that Washington is more inclined to "overthrow" North Korea than to negotiations with it.
"Wonderful, which is widely promoted by Washington, that at first Pyongyang should curtail its nuclear program is an unrealizable dream, because, under the pretext of the" nuclear program ", the USA calls for the DPRK disarmament in order to make a sudden attack and overthrow the political system in our country," reports Tsat.
Especially the Koreans did not like the statement of the Minister of Defense Donald Ramsfeld, who announced that the United States can simultaneously wage two wars and that the DPRK would make a big mistake if it doubts.
The states go to an extremely dangerous confrontation, claiming the abandonment of dialogue with the DPRK and at the same time not excluding war against it, the agency notes.
Atomic bomb can appear in North Korea after 30 days
The United States explains its position by the fact that by launching a nuclear reactor, after only 30 days North Korea will be able to become the owner of nuclear weapons. This was announced by one of the leading British nuclear experts.
John Lardge, who consulted the UK Navy and gave Russia recommendations on the upsurge of the Subanated Premier League Kursk, said that the only reason Pyongyang decided to start the nuclear reactor is the desire to create a nuclear weapon, writes The Times on Friday. Yesterday, 1000 new radioactive fuel elements containing uranium were delivered to the nuclear rector in Enben. According to Pyongyang, North Korea wants to resume the production of atomic electricity.
Pyongyang emphasizes that he needs electricity to compensate for the freezing of American oil products. In total, 8000 such elements are needed to launch the reactor.
According to John Lardge, there are three possible reasons why the Northern Koreans want to start a nuclear reactor again, and each of them is associated with the desire of Pyongyan to create nuclear weapons.
The first is that the reactor can be used to supply the energy of the plant for the processing of nuclear fuel, which is also located in Enben - there is the necessary equipment for processing this fuel into impoverished uranium, as well as a mixture of plutonium and America. This mixture can be used to produce an atomic bomb, which will take from six months to a year. Of the 8,000 fuel elements, you can get a minimum of 30 kg of plutonium, which is enough for the manufacture of seven atomic bombs.
Nevertheless, North Korea may not have equipment for processing American, which is a very dangerous element. In this case, to create an atomic bomb, Pyongyan will need nine months to a year, the publication reports.
The third, the most alarming scenario suggests that North Korea already has a sufficient amount of plutonium for the production of an atomic bomb, but there is no nuclear initiator to it. In this case, it is quite possible that it launches a nuclear rector for the production of a “nuclear initiator from Polonia”, which is necessary for the production of a nuclear explosion. This should allow Pyongyang to create a nuclear explosive device in just 30 days.
“All scenarios end in the creation of nuclear weapons,” Larjah noted.
In addition, the newspaper writes, the unstable Stalinist regime of North Korea has been working on the creation of large -range missiles that can hit targets even in Japan for several years.
“This destabilizes the political situation throughout Southeast Asia,” Lardge emphasized.
