The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it is monitoring the construction of a new feature in the Yongbin nuclear campus in North Korea.
In a statement Last week, IAEA Director General Rafael Gossi said that the agency “is monitoring the construction of a new building in Yongbayon, which are similar dimensions and features as the Kangsan promotion.”
Hey “Undislated Promotional Facilities” in North Korea is a matter of serious concern, “stating that,” Continuity of DPRK’s nuclear program and further development relevant is a clear violation of proposals of the United Nations Security Council and is regrettable. ,
‘Paranoid about the existence of governance’
The analyst says that despite a working nuclear hatred, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un views the ability to severely more nuclear weapons for the existence of his rule.
“North Korea has long gone mad about the existence of its rule,” said Irwin Tan, a professor of international politics, specialized in the security dilemma theory at Hunkukk University of Foreign Studies in Seoul.
He said that Kim has inherited his father on the operational nuclear arsenal, which will serve as a “insurance policy”. “The present moment is like a ‘opportunity window’ to develop an operational nuclear arsenal for North Korean people, due to the lack of naiway and its geopolitical foresight of President Donald Trump’s administration.”
An analysis of satellite images published in 38 north in a publication of Washington -based Think Tank Stimson Center supports the evaluation of IAEA, with the construction meter long and 47 meter wide feature, almost designed for the high spin dar serephus for a plant for Kangson for a plant.
Other developments include an underground radioactive waste storage facility, its construction.
To expand stockpile
The report took place on Monday with a study published by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, investigating the status of the world’s nuclear arsenal.
The institute estimated that North Korea had “assembled about 50 nuclear warheads and faced the winning material to produce a bundle till 90 Warheads by January this year. It said that Pyongyang’s atomic warheads are estimated to be expanded in the coming years.”
Professor of history and international relations at Seoul’s Kukmin University, Andrei Lankov, said Answer may follow one of the two trajectory; More and more regional security and an optimistic in terms of second pessimist.
“A decade ago, the answer reached the level of technical capacity to deploy both atomic atoms and ICBMs required to distribute them,” he said. “However, he did not stop his development work and now he has reached the point where he can distribute a warhead anywhere in the world.”
“The vested landscape,” Lankov said, the US is for the US threatening to attack its cities with nuclear weapons, if it interfere with South Korea’s invasion. North Strategic battlefield can use nuclear weapons “to remove large -scale superiority that South Korea keeps in traditional arms systems.”
“The result will probably be a North Korean victory in the south,” Hey said.
The more optimistic reading of the current situation, Lancov, suggested that North is building new features “in plain vision” in Yongbayon, which is to send a very differently.
“This can be a very good sign that they are making it in full knowledge that it will be seen and understood as Pyongyang wants to interact.”
Regional spread concern
Professor Tan said Kim’s security coalition with Russian President Vladimir Putin has certainly given him additional power international pressure, although there are tension between the two sides.
“Russia and North Korea – and, for that case, China – all distribute and dislike each other, but all of them believe that they have shared interests against the US,” Heer said.
“Kim Jong Un has clearly calculated that he can ‘-back’ his cooperation with Putin to rely on Russian military protection to develop his nuclear arsenal further.
It once again enhances the viewer of nuclear proliferation in Northeast Asia, including potential, South Korea, developing and deploys its own nuclear fisheries.
He said, “At the end of Trump’s first term in the office, there was already a discussion about an independent nuclear arsenal in South Korea, but the thesis was not physical,” he said.
“My belief is that while in South Korea members of the people may have a reaction to a knee shock, which is in favor of an nuclear arsenal, the desire to search decreases when they know about the level of increased taxation and defense spending, as well as with international reputation,” he said.
