North Korea may sell nuclear bomb-making materials to rogue states, experts warn
The International Atomic Energy Agency started its annual general conference in Vienna on Monday, days after Pyongyang revealed images of a factory where uranium isotopes can be separated to fuel nuclear weapons.
The facility’s scale suggests North Korea could be enriching material beyond what it needs for its own security.
“We are concerned that material could go elsewhere,” US Deputy Secretary of Energy David Turk said in an interview.
North Korea’s “deeply troubling” new capacity has been a primary focus of meetings this week in the Austrian capital, he said.
