Satellite thermal images show Yongbyon reactors running nonstop
Original: Thermal satellite images show Yongbyon reactors running nonstop
New thermal satellite imagery indicates the reactors at North Korea's Yongbyon nuclear complex have been operating continuously, without the pauses previously observed. Analysts say sustained operation could mean increased production of plutonium for weapons, and the findings are drawing attention among experts tracking Pyongyang's nuclear program.
Why now: Continuous operation of North Korea's main nuclear site suggests expanding fissile material production, raising proliferation concerns.
