The United States’s contingency plan for another North Korean nuclear test – which could happen within the next two weeks – includes a strike on North Korea’s main nuclear reactor, according to a leading expert.
Cheong Seong-chang, a senior research fellow at South Korea’s Sejong Institute, told the Korea Times that Pyongyang may be planning to conduct its 6th nuclear test before April 25th, which is the foundation date of the People’s Army. The explosive power of the test would be a staggering 14 times larger than the previous test, according to Seong-chang.
America’s immediate response would be to move its strategic nuclear weapons to the Korean Peninsula, but what happens next could lead to all out nuclear conflict.
“The U.S. could also throw a precision strike at Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center to prevent North Korea’s further advancement of nuclear capability,” said Seong-chang.
The Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center, located 90km north of Pyongyang, is North Korea’s primary nuclear facility and provided fissile material for the Hermit Kingdom’s nuclear tests in 2006 and 2009. It is of a smilar size to the Syrian nuclear reactor that was bombed by Israel in 2007.
