North Korea Has Resumed Nuke Operations: “The President and the Secretary of Defense Are Taking It Seriously”

A couple of weeks ago, on January 27, a corporation that monitors North Korean nuclear activity concluded that the communist state has increased activity within its facilities designed to enrich fissile nuclear material. This specifically means uranium and plutonium, to make nuclear weapons. Here is an excerpt from that article by David Brunnstrom of Reuters entitled North Korea appears to have restarted plutonium reactor: think tank, as follows:

“New commercial satellite imagery indicates North Korea has resumed operation of a reactor at its main nuclear site used to produce plutonium for its nuclear weapons program, a U.S. think tank said on Friday. Washington’s 38 North, North Korea monitoring project said previous analysis from Jan. 18 showed signs that North Korea was preparing to restart the reactor at Yongbyon, having unloaded spent fuel rods for reprocessing to produce additional plutonium for its nuclear weapons stockpile.

“Imagery from January 22 shows a water plume (most probably warm) originating from the cooling water outlet of the reactor, an indication that the reactor is very likely operating,” it said in a report. It said it was impossible to estimate at what power level the reactor was running, “although it may be considerable.”

This comes on the heels of numerous threats made by North Korea’s Kim Jung-Un both before and after the inauguration of President Trump. The North Koreans have been quietly building stockpiles of fissionable material. Last year saw almost a dozen missile tests, as well as several nuclear detonations, and Un is not putting the brakes on making weapons, as reported in the article:

“News of the apparent reactor restart comes at a time of rising concern about North Korea’s weapons programs, which could present the new administration of U.S. President Donald Trump with its first major crisis. A report by leading U.S.-based nuclear expert Siegfried Hecker published by 38 North last September estimated North Korea had stockpiles of 32 to 54 kg (70 to 119 pounds) of plutonium, enough for 6 to 8 bombs, and had the capacity to produce 6 kg, or approximately one bomb’s worth, per year.

North Korea also produces highly enriched uranium for atomic bombs and would have sufficient fissile material for approximately 20 bombs by the end of last year, and the capacity to produce seven more a year, that report said. In a New Year speech, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said his country was close to test launching an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) and state media has said a launch could come at any time.”

As reported in the article, the Secretary of Defense is scheduled to visit Japan and South Korea next week to address this issue. The President obviously takes it seriously enough that it is not being “shelved” or ignored the way Obama did for the past 8 years. Read previous articles regarding the assessments of Dr. Peter V. Pry on North Korean capabilities regarding miniaturization of nuclear warheads and their use to deliver an EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) weapon.

I have not stated that North Korea will launch an EMP attack against the United States. I have stated that there is a high probability that should an EMP attack occur, or if a world war breaks out that North Korea could be either the initiator or used by another nation as the “fall guy” to commence hostilities. My statement was (and is) this:

The next world war will be initiated by an EMP device detonated over the continental United States, followed by a nuclear exchange and then conventional warfare.
