North Korea likely has undeclared uranium enrichment site based on photos
Leader Kim Jong-un visited a uranium enrichment facility, which could be an undeclared site for building nuclear bombs
The photos showed Kim walking between long rows of metal centrifuges, the machines that enrich uranium. The report did not mention the facility’s location.
North Korea watchers and analysts said the site, known as Kangson, is suspected to be a covert uranium enrichment plant.
Jeffrey Lewis, a non-proliferation expert at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, said five images of the inside facility, including the “big” hall and an annex released by state media, match features of satellite imagery of the nuclear site.
The annexe’s odd shape and it unusual set of columns and beams were a “strong match” to the site North Korea constructed this year, he said.
