주요내용 Recent commercial satellite imagery confirms a June 6, 2019 German media (Die Welt) report of notable improvements to the previously abandoned Taechon reactor[1] site support infrastructure since 2015, as well as other modifications and activity dating as far back as 2004. However, the Die Welt suggestion that this observed activity might be an indication of DPRK intent to restart construction of the 200 MWe reactor is less probable than other possible explanations, particularly given the lack of changes to the derelict reactor proper or its adjacent generator hall. Alternatively, preparations in advance of potential international inspections or the “signaling” of a threat of reconstruction would seem more likely at this time.
