IAEA flags new Yongbyon facility and Kangson expansion in North Korea
TL;DR Summary
The IAEA says North Korea has built a new uranium enrichment facility at Yongbyon that could host up to 28 gas centrifuge cascades and has begun expanding an annex at Kangson, signaling a multi-site expansion of its nuclear infrastructure. The agency relied on satellite imagery and state-media photos since inspectors have not been allowed in North Korea since 2009, and the developments violate UN Security Council resolutions; Pyongyang has repeatedly rejected the IAEA’s authority.
