NORTH Korea has made further progress in the construction of a new atomic reactor, a facility that may extend the country's capacity to produce material for nuclear bombs, the UN nuclear chief said yesterday.
Pyongyang "has continued construction of the light water reactor and largely completed work on the exterior of the main buildings," said Yukiya Amano, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
But he told the IAEA's 35-nation governing board the UN agency "remains unable to determine the reactor's design features or the likely date for its commissioning." North Korea says it needs nuclear power to provide electricity, but has also boasted of its nuclear deterrence capability.
