North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un had announced to increase his stockpile of nuclear weapons just 3 days ago. After this, North Korea’s preparations to make a nuclear bomb have intensified. On the second day of this announcement, North Korea fired ballistic missiles and rockets. Then today Kim Jong Un visited the banned nuclear construction site and gave instructions to increase uranium enrichment to make a nuclear bomb. North Korea showed for the first time on Friday photos of the centrifuges that produce fuel for its nuclear bombs. North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un is seen visiting this uranium enrichment factory. He has ordered the preparation of more weapons-grade material to boost it. The pictures of Kim Jong’s uranium site have created a stir in the world.
State media reports following Kim’s visit to a nuclear weapons institute and a production base for weapons-grade nuclear material have revealed the first photos of a centrifuge, a rare facility inside North Korea’s nuclear program that is under UN protection. Has been banned. In these pictures, Kim Jong is shown walking between long rows of centrifuge machines that enrich uranium. However, the report did not clarify when the visit took place.
Preparation for war with America
Kim Jong Un considers America as his biggest enemy. While visiting a uranium enrichment site, Kim is said to have urged workers to produce more material for tactical nuclear weapons. Also said that the country’s nuclear arsenal is important to counter threats from the United States and its allies. He said the weapons were needed for “self-defense and preemptive strike capability.” According to the report, the North Korean leader said that “anti-DPRK nuclear threats” from “vassal forces led by US imperialists” have crossed the red line.
How many nuclear weapons does North Korea have?
North Korea is currently estimated to have more than 50 nuclear weapons. According to analysts, it currently has so much uranium material that it can make 70 to 90 more nuclear weapons. Let us tell you that North Korea is claimed to have many units like the uranium enrichment unit which Kim Jong visited. Analysts say commercial satellite imagery has shown construction in recent years at the main Yongbyon nuclear scientific research center, including its uranium enrichment plant, suggesting a possible expansion in North Korea’s nuclear weapons arsenal.
Uranium is a radioactive element that exists naturally. To make nuclear fuel, raw uranium must undergo processes that result in a substance containing an increased concentration of the isotope uranium-235. From this, nuclear bombs and nuclear missiles are then prepared.
What did the IAEA say?
International Atomic Energy Agency head Rafael Grossi said the U.N. nuclear watchdog had observed activity consistent with the operation of a reactor and a centrifuge enrichment facility reported at Yongbyon. Kim has stressed the need to increase the number of centrifuges. In order to “rapidly increase” nuclear weapons and expand the use of new types of centrifuges to further strengthen the production of weapons-grade nuclear materials. Ankit Panda of the US-based Carnegie Endowment for International Peace said the new type of centrifuge shows North Korea is advancing its fuel cycle capabilities. “Kim also suggests that North Korean tactical nuclear weapons designs may rely primarily on uranium for their core,” he said. North Korea is more than capable of increasing its highly enriched uranium stockpile. (Reuters)
