North Korea to restart Yongbyon nuclear reactor
North Korea will restart its shuttered Yongbyon nuclear reactor, its official KCNA news service said on Tuesday, a move that could enable it to extract more plutonium to bolster its atomic stockpile for use in nuclear weapons.
North Korea has resumed work on a light water reactor that could be used to support its nuclear programme after ''months of inactivity'', a United States institute says.
