Qiaunci Jones- North Korea: Satellite images show 'stepped-up activities' at nuclear site


Satellite imagery shows increased activity at a major North Korean nuclear site, according to a new report. Satellite images show no snow on the roofs of the reactor buildings, while others are covered. "This indicates that the 5 MWe reactor and its support buildings are occupied and at least minimally heated." Channels leading from the reactor's cooling cisterns have also been dredged and cleared of ice, though there was no indication that they were currently in use, the report said.
"Taken as a whole, these activities suggest preparations to resume operation of the 5 MWe reactor," the authors conclude.


North Korea could be planning something, and we don't know what for. This article was written on January 19, 2017, which means there could've been more test and stuff going on to this day.  This could be related to earlier threats or suspicions from Korea. Hopefully, we are safe and they don't get to the point of using their nuclear weapon.
