Reuters: Exclusive: North Korea may have more bomb fuel than thought - U.S. think tank
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Thermal images of North Korea's main nuclear site show Pyongyang may have reprocessed more plutonium than previously thought that can be used to enlarge its nuclear weapons stockpile, a U.S. think tank said on Friday.
The analysis by 38 North, a Washington-based North Korean monitoring project, was based on satellite images of the radiochemical laboratory at the Yongbyon nuclear plant from September until the end of June, amid rising international concerns over North Korea's nuclear and missile programs.
The think tank said images of the uranium enrichment facility at Yongbyon could also indicate operation of centrifuges that could be used to increase North Korea’s stock of enriched uranium, its other source of bomb fuel.
There were signs too of at least short-term activity at North Korea’s Experimental Light Water Reactor that could be cause for concern, 38 North said.
Reuters received a copy of the report before its scheduled release later on Friday.

North korea has nothing to loose but sweet revenge. Cause back in the 1950
We all know what really happened
So... CNN also needs a Moment of truth now.
Are they gonna keep pushing this whole Trump & his entire family is a bunch of traitors theme, or are they gonna jump off the bandwagon now and realise that there's actually the risk of war with north Korea very soon and that they shouldn't push Trump to seek for a distraction overseas?
If they really really believe he's a traitor then surely it can't be in the interest that he starts a war abroad. Then again, they also can't afford to let him remain president if North Korea gets nukes and is in reach soon. So the moment of truth will edge closer. No guys, Watergate took 2 years but the US cannot afford another 1.25 years of this show. Cnn has to deliver that 9 month evidence they have by now.
...oh what? No evidence? But. .but...it's been 9 months. .almost 10...it's kind of super urgent. . we really can't go faster, despite imminent war looming? How about we all click on cnn Ads a bit more. ..maybe then we get to see that journalistic master piece they have up their sleeves that will explain and justify why they are taking the nation hostage with their narrative for 9-10 months now while north Korea becomes a more and more pressing issue.
But no. ..trump Junior. ..that's the important news. ..that secret meeting with Russians. ...where 8(!) people attended. Man that's some mighty secrecy they have going. ..super secret stuff. .well worth the wait. .yawn...
LMFAO,
CNN is a news organization,
Robert Meuller is the Special Consul leading the Department of Justice Investigation into Trump/Russia that will bring criminal charges and persue convictions and plea deals for testimony,
There's a House Intelligence Commitee also sort of kinda, from time to time, persuing an investigation, when it meet's, but rather than investigating and clearing up the issue, the House Investigation is being stalled by it's Republican Members, who want to take the Sgt. Shultz defence,
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UgcxGFmYyPs
and try to preserve their careers when the shit goes sideways,
and there's a Senate Intelligence Commitee investigating, which is making a bit more progress, at a glacial pace.
CNN is just news media being fed a constant stream of leaks from members of Team Trump trying to ratfuck other members of Team Trump and the Trumps Agenda with leaks while Team Russia ratfucks Team Trump with interviews and Putin and Sergie slyly continue their very public victory lap and thowing of shade,

LMFAO,
North Korea has everything to lose. A nuclear exchange would mean the end of the DPRK forever. That little bee might sting but it will get squashed completely.
Jay of course they are, thanks though for your genius insights^^
Did you ever realize that whatever cnn says has real life implications? For instance, when they say - based on unverified leaks as you mention - that someone is a traitor, you have a significant increase in death threats to that person (happens to be the president half the country voted for).
Similar thing happened to Obama - when fox news went out of their way to push the birther lie - you had people believing it. Now. ..why do people find one thing abhorrent, but when cnn does the same sort of malpractice, it is ok? Calling someone a traitor is even a tiny bit worse than saying you weren't born in this country. Many, many people want to kill trump because they believe what cnn says. Many, many people want to go to war with Russia ("blow up agencies"..that's actually what was said on cnn).
All I'm saying is: how the f*ck are you OK with cnn doing worse things than fox? Fox is abhorrent, but cnn now does the same kind of stuff, but you are ok with it. Where is the freaking evidence? It's nearly 10 months.
Jay... 10 months. ..nothing. ..shall I Come back in another month and remind you? Soon a year. ...but but "watergate took 2 years" ..lol
LMFAO,
30,000 Clinton/DNC Emails, nothingburger,
1 DJT Jr. Email and collusion is proved,
LMFAO
Every 'Merkin who voted for Adolph Twitler, was either to stupid to breathe, or knew they were putting Putin and the Russian Mob in the White Supremacy House,
LMFAO,
And the whole reason they did it, is because "Real 'Murkins" hate their fellow American's more than anything else on the planet.
Keep posting as the years unwind, I'll keep laughing my ass off as 'Murkin's gladly piss away and destroy the American Empire and the American "Century", ( didn't even last 20 years),
LMFAO
Cnn is nothing but a propaganda machine for the Democratic party , that nobody is watching...
If they would like to do some real work they should look at the massive violation of privacy commented by the president Obama administration.
Lol sad old loser uses names like twitler. go back to facebook grandma
It will be a limited attacks on North Korea before the end of the summer in my opinion the problem is how North Korea will respond.
Hard to know I guess we just need to wait and see...
On the other hand, NORK nukes and NORK ICBM's ensure that little Kim won't have the same end as Saddam, Noriega or Quafaddi,
Little Kim's managed to get South Korea to opt out of the US's regime change project,
then Japan,
then Australia,
by being able to ensure "The Korea's" arn't the only ones to feel the pain.
Now they are trying to make their "share the pain project", solid enough to take the US's Regime Change project off the US's table.
Not gonna happen.
Real 'Murkin's will gladly trade Anchorage, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Japan, Okinawa, South Korea for one in the "win" column and a wall of radioactive debris, slowly moving across the Heartland headed east.
LMFAO

Nope - Its Obama hold-overs leaking away to NYT and Wapo. All of it dead-end horseshit. Fake news aping a fake Nontroversy.
/Trump doesn't have enough staff in sensitive positions to leak damn near anything.
Wrong again, farq troll.
LMFAO,

Country and Constitution over Treason, and you have, over and over, chosen treason,
LMFAO,
You know what "doxing" is?
Anzino didn't know anything about "defamation",
LMFAO
Lefty's and patriotism... Hmmmm.
farq troll, I couldn't trade your "patriotism" for enough toilet paper to wipe my ass.
LMFAO,
you know nothing John Snow,
LMFAO,
RussInSoCal, is only a handle on the Web, it's not "anonminity", unless you are using Tor to post,
Your defence of the Russian Usefull Idiot, is after 2018, going to come back to bite you hard, personally and professionally,
After all, WNU Editor notes that much of his core readership, is movers and shakers in the US MIC.
When Trump blows up, just like after Nixon, or McCarthy, they are going to go "hard" against the Deplorables, so that little tiny fish get sacrificed, ( family, careers, etc) on the altar of "wasn't us",
Can you say "black list?"
LMFAO
I can't believe I used to consider myself left-wing after I see the word diarrhea that guys like Farq spew online. They've become the true fascists while screaming about their laughable new red scare. Thank god the majority of voters who occupy the middle have begun to recognize it for the time being. Sadly the data shows that kids under the age of 15 now are so fed up with the corporate left's bullshit that we may never see an actual classical liberal resurgence for decades. The clinton wing destroyed the occupy movement and now all that's left are zealots like Jay who have married themselves to a team rather than a set of ideals and can't recognize how hollow their non-message has become.
I agree, kim counts on his bluff not being called. Plenty of studies that oppose these doomsday artillery estimates.
Does Jay has autism or something? "LMFAO"... Like a kid.
Mueller is buds with Comey. This is conflict of interest.
