North Korea Yongbyon reactor work ‘nearing completion’

BBC News reported Monday that North Korea is making "important" progress on reactivating facilities at its moth-balled Yongbyon nuclear reactor.

According to the BBC, the information came from the 38 North website, which is part of the US-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University in the US. Its report said that recent satellite imagery showed that North Korea had "essentially finished repairing the cooling system necessary to restart and operate the reactor." (Ynet)
