Pyongyang: North Korea today (Friday) displayed pictures of its uranium enrichment facility for the first time. It showed President Kim Jong Un discussing with scientists and technicians at an enriched uranium plant. He appealed to scientists and technicians to make more sentry fuzes and said that 'more and more nuclear weapons are needed on our country's missiles. For this we still have to go further.'
Analysts say that the International Atomic Energy Commission (Vienna) has strongly urged North Korea not to make a nuclear bomb. But North Korea had already started making a nuclear bomb. Earlier, its scientists and technicians had fully helped in the production of enriched uranium (U-238) from Russia and China.
In fact, it is believed that North Korea already has about 250 nuclear bombs. Enriched uranium was essential for that. Russia and China are also known to supply it. Now it is making more sentry fugels. Russia and China are helping it for this.
Observers say that Kim Jong Un had indeed built the underground facility first. But till now he had kept this thing a secret. But as the US election (presidential election) is approaching, Wool's intention behind making this announcement is to influence that election.
