주요내용 Recent commercial satellite imagery of the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center indicates ongoing operations at the 5 MWe Reactor and Uranium Enrichment Plant (UEP)—the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s (DPRK’s) main fissile material production facilities—and improvement or expansion efforts throughout the complex. This includes the continued construction of several new buildings located just south of the Experimental Light Water Reactor (ELWR), the expansion of the dam located near the Uranium Enrichment Plant and complexes, and the return of three specialized railcars to the rail transfer station. Developments at the never-completed 50 MWe Reactor in recent years will be addressed in a separate, forthcoming analysis.
