CNN: Satellite images reveal North Korea expanding facility used to produce weapons-grade uranium
Washington (CNN)New satellite images obtained by CNN reveal North Korea is expanding a key facility capable of enriching uranium for nuclear weapons, renovations that likely indicate the country plans to significantly ramp-up production at this once-dormant site in the near future, according to experts who analyzed the photos.
Images captured by commercial imaging company Maxar earlier this week show construction is underway at a uranium enrichment plant located within the Yongbyon Nuclear Research Facility complex -- changes that could allow North Korea to increase production of weapons-grade nuclear material by as much as 25 percent, Jeffrey Lewis, a weapons expert and professor at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, told CNN.

Fred,
Is the AP, NHK nd Yongbyon all fake news along with CNN?
Sure CNN is a bad network, but you still have to investigate story by story no matter the network.
The facility is being expanded. That much is uncontestable except by the not so bright among us. Maybe the North Koreans are just adding a breakroom?
Now you could contest whether the expansion of the physical facilities would lead to a ramping up of uranium production, but the probabilities are not in your favor.
well he has roughly 3 years to work on it. Biden, and any potential successor is incapable of dealing with the threat. Being lost in the "woke" bubble, and all.
