Key North Korean nuclear reactor has been shut down for months: IAEA.
VIENNA - The nuclear reactor that is believed to have supplied much of the plutonium for North Korea's nuclear weapons appears to have been shut down for the past three months, the U.N. atomic watchdog said on Monday, without suggesting why.
Some independent analysts, who are also using satellite imagery, believe the ageing reactor is having technical problems. But a facility widely believed to be used for uranium enrichment, a process that can also produce weapons-grade material for nuclear bombs, appeared to be running, he said. And building work continued on an experimental light-water reactor.
