North Korea's nuclear program

36
In light of recent developments regarding the DPRK’s nuclear program, it is once again coming to the forefront of international politics. The official statements of official Pyongyang, which follow one another almost every day, only add fuel to the fire. 30 March DPRK announced that its relations with South Korea "entered the military phase," and all problems will now be solved "as in wartime." If we take into account these formulations that North Korea has in fact declared war on its southern neighbor. At the same time, officially both parties to the conflict more than 60-year-old of the peace treaty had not previously signed.

However, the Republic of Korea is not inclined to over-dramatize the situation. DPRK statements in Seoul are regarded as a continuation of the policy of verbal blackmail. The South Korean Ministry of Defense confirmed the fact that there were no signs of preparation for an attack and unusual troop movements in the northern neighbor’s troops. At the same time, a few days ago, the head of the DPRK tourism organization, who visited China, assured the concerned Chinese tour operators that “there would be no war,” urging them to send “as many tourists as possible” to Juche Country. It is worth noting that the five-day excursions in the DPRK with a visit to the cities of Pyongyang, Kaesong, Wonsan, and the Kymgansan mountains cost almost 1000 dollars. In a country that is experiencing an acute shortage of foreign currency, tourism is very important.

Nuclear program of the DPRK

The DPRK is one of the first countries in the Asia-Pacific region, which launched secret work on the mastery of military nuclear technology. This is largely due to the situation that developed on the Korean Peninsula after the end of the Second World War and which resulted in the full-scale Korean war 1950-1953 between the North and the South. The US and its allies, as well as the PRC and the USSR, were drawn into this military campaign. The deployment of American troops and an arsenal of American tactical nuclear forces in South Korea contributed to maintaining tension in the region. weapons sea ​​and air basing. At one time, the leadership of North Korea had serious concerns that in the course of a possible military conflict on the peninsula, these weapons could go into action.
North Korea's nuclear program

The first ruler of the DPRK, Kim Il Sung, attached great importance to nuclear rocket research. He was one of the first leaders of the third world countries to evaluate the potential of a new weapon and, despite a large number of difficulties, began to seek possession of it. The first clear lesson was taught to him by the USA when they launched nuclear strikes on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These field tests of the new weapon made a stunning impression on him. And they vividly demonstrated to the future North Korean leader that nuclear weapons are not a “paper tiger” and their use for military purposes can be crucial in achieving victory over the enemy. Kim Il Sung received a second lesson during the Korean War, when the US military and political leadership seriously considered the possibility of launching nuclear strikes against North Korea. It is worth noting that the DPRK leader turned out to be a diligent student and the creation of their own nuclear weapons has become one of the main programs of the DPRK for many decades.

The active start of work on the nuclear program can be considered the establishment of a research center in Yongbyon in 1964, where, along with research in the field of nuclear energy, military-applied research soon began. This center was founded with the direct support of the USSR. Already in 1965, the first research reactor IRT-2000, with a capacity of 2 MW, was commissioned here. Since 1985, the construction of another nuclear reactor began in Yongbyon, this time its capacity should have been 50 MW. Also in the Thonchon region, the construction of a 200 MW reactor was launched. According to experts, these reactors have a dual purpose.

The nuclear program in the DPRK is directly headed by the Ministry of Atomic Industry, which is part of the State Administrative Council (Cabinet). Today, when the design of the simplest nuclear warheads has ceased to be a secret, the most critical element of military nuclear programs is obtaining the required amount of fissile material - plutonium or highly enriched uranium. For its nuclear program, North Korea has chosen plutonium as the main basic fissile material. That is why the information on how much weapons-grade plutonium North Korea currently has has the greatest practical value.

At the same time, the high secrecy and secrecy of North Korean society does not provide an opportunity to give an unambiguous answer to this question. Therefore, here you can only rely on the information of the special services, which was transmitted to the media and the results of approximate calculations. So, for example, to determine the approximate amount of plutonium produced in reactors, experts often use the following simple relationship: during the day, a working reactor is able to produce 1 grams of plutonium per megawatt of its capacity. Based on this, the 5 MW reactor in Yongbyon is able to produce an 5 gr. plutonium per day or up to 1,8 kg. per year, and the 50 megawatt reactor is already up to 20 kg. plutonium per year, which is enough to make 4-5 nuclear weapons.

Over the past decades, the DPRK has been working to create an extensive nuclear infrastructure, which includes not only research, but also manufacturing enterprises. At present, the general public knows the location of the main nuclear facilities of the DPRK.

Location of North Korean nuclear infrastructure

Yonben
It is actually the main center for the design and manufacture of nuclear weapons. Atomic Energy Research Center, which includes: Institute of Nuclear Electronics, Institute of Nuclear Physics, Institute of Radiation Chemistry, Institute of Isotopes, Radiochemical Laboratory, Critical Assembly with 0,1 MW and also 3 Reactor: 5 with Thermal Reactor MW and 8 MW reactor. The center also has a nuclear fuel plant, an isotope processing plant, and an explosive device testing ground.
Nuclear facilities in Yongbyon

Suncheon, Ungi, Khunnam
Existing uranium mines.

Kuson
Uranium processing plant, obtaining UO2 - uranium dioxide.

Nannam
Nuclear Energy Research Center.

Pakcheon
The operating uranium mine and the concentrating enterprise, the research center of an atomic energy. Presumably in this center are developing nuclear weapons.

Pyensan
Uranium dioxide production, Uranium ore mining and processing plant.

Phenson
Atomic Energy Research Center and Pkhenson University of Science.

Pyongyang
College of Nuclear Physics as part of the University of Technology. Kim Chkhek and the College of Nuclear Physics at Kim Il Sung University.

Hamhyn
University of Chemical Industry, is engaged in training specialists in the field of processing of nuclear materials.

An analysis of North Korea’s nuclear infrastructure indicates a wide range of work in this area. At the same time, they cover all aspects of this rather complex scientific and technical problem. Attention is drawn to the fact that large research centers were established in the DPRK, which are able to conduct not only theoretical but also practical research in this field. In this case, the weakest link looks at the available production capacity of the DPRK to obtain weapons-grade plutonium. This deficiency is the main limiting factor for North Korea in the matter of accumulating its military nuclear arsenal.

North Korea joined the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) in December 1985 of the year, but already in March of the year 1993 declared its desire to withdraw from it. However, the exit dragged on 10 for years, during which the DPRK, if you call a spade a spade, blackmailed the world community with this issue, using it as a trump card in its international politics. 11 January 2003 of the DPRK was formally freed from all NPT obligations.

10 February 2005 of the year North Korea for the first time officially recognized the fact of the existence of nuclear weapons of its own production. This was announced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country, which noted that the DPRK's nuclear weapons are “the force of nuclear deterrence” and are “entirely defensive” in nature. October 9 The DPRK 2006 conducted the first underground test of a nuclear device. According to the information of Russian specialists, the capacity of the underground explosion was 10-15 kt.

Under pressure from the world community, the DPRK suspended its nuclear program on 3 of the year, but eventually resumed its 14 on April of 2009. At the request of North Korea, the IAEA inspectors left the country. 25 May 2009 of the DPRK conducted a second nuclear test. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the power of the tested nuclear charge ranged from 10 to 20 CT. Also in May 2010, the DPRK announced successes in thermonuclear fusion, which could increase the power of its nuclear weapons by a hundred times.

At the end of 2012, the South Korean Ministry of Defense released the White Paper, which provided expert opinions from both South Korea and the United States on the expansion of North Korea’s nuclear program. Having analyzed the images from space, the experts stated that the DPRK has other enrichment facilities other than a large center in Yongbyon. Also in this book was information that North Korea has about 40 kg. weapons-grade plutonium, which was obtained by reprocessing spent fuel rods four times.

The third round of the DPRK's nuclear tests, which were carried out on February 12 of the year, contributed to the latest spiral of exacerbation of international tensions on the Korean Peninsula. The Russian special services rated the power of the blasted nuclear device in 2013 kt. After the third nuclear tests, the DPRK’s rhetoric became more aggressive and led to the escalation of the conflict between the two Koreas, so far only in the form of verbal attacks and threats.

    The idea of ​​developing a country that is designed solely on its own looks very commendable. Only comprehensive progress cannot be achieved. Of course, you can achieve significant heights in individual industries, for example, in medicine or the nuclear program, but in order to move forward confidently, the integration of several countries is needed. I heard the opinion that in such a block there should be at least 400 million people. I don’t know, I don’t know, but the children's fairy tale about one twig and a broom from twigs does not lose its relevance.
    As for the hysteria in the Korean Peninsula: Pyongyang wants to eat, a lot of resources are spent on the nuclear program and the army, and it puts pressure on its neighbors.

      If the SCO were a real military alliance, and the great Ukry finally settled down, we would have already destroyed this NATU long ago.
      But so far we have only envious people and freeloaders like UZ, etc., whom it is not clear why we are pulling at all. As long as there is Ukry with its rotten government, while we do not have worthy politicians to build relations with China and India in the right direction, we will continue to be a superpower that exists only because of the presence of nuclear weapons. For even with such army reforms what is happening now, we do not have a counterweight to NATU.

        In June, the 2005 of the year at a meeting of the NRC at the level of ministers of defense approved the Political-Military Guidelines to increase the level of interoperability of troops (forces) of Russia and NATO countries, i.e. justified the transition of the Russian army to NATO standards and equipping with NATO military equipment.


        but about joint exercises with NATO and the same gringos separately, some exercises have become regular, you can no longer recall.

      A moot point. Under this program, NOTHING is purchased for currency, energy costs are not too large, staff salaries are even less so. Why is there a VERY BIG cost? And if there hadn’t been an army, the DPRK would not have existed for a long time, the degree of its readiness of the USA is monitored very carefully

        Well, do not stoop to the primitive imposed on you by the same pin.dosami.
        Who told you that they were starving there? Jewish media? Or a geyropa? They live there not richly, but do not starve. And how can one live richly if:
        1. You are being blocked. Your ships inspect and delay. Your money is taken. Forbid ALL to trade with you.
        2. There is no oil and gas in your territory. Your territory is mountainous and has few arable land.
        Nevertheless, you have free training. Free medicine. Everyone has a job. The country launches satellites into space. Has a FREE army. It is developing nuclear weapons. He is developing rocket technology.

        And you repeat the primitive - they are starving ... as the Koreans themselves would not say. Rather, you are starving than they are. People who have a goal and want to work will not starve. But loafers and muddlers who have no purpose and are constantly listening to the overseas dadyu, even with unmeasured oil and gas resources, are not immune from this ...

Sanctions imposed only because of the nuclear program. Why would the DPRK have a nuclear program if China had always stood behind it and the invasion didn’t threaten them anyway? What for? Hooligan like a child with matches? And now even China is trying to disown the autocratically grown mutant, so as not to feed him.

Eun does the right thing: he doesn’t get divorced from American antlers, he stands to the end, he knows that there is no war for China there. In fact, China through the DPRK is hinting to the United States that it is not worth it to get into the zone of influence of the Chinese. There, the Japs also vomited: they were sent.

      To begin with, the creation by South Korea and Japan of their own nuclear arsenals is complete nonsense. Here I even write why I don’t want to because it’s obvious. By the way, as it is written in the text, there are already American tactical nuclear missiles on the territory of these countries. As for the delivery vehicles and "the DPRK can only threaten its neighbors," do not forget about this fact that the North Koreans alone, without the help of foreign space agencies, were able to successfully launch a rocket with a satellite and did it before their southern neighbors, which, by the way , Roskosmos assisted in the development of the launch vehicle. Accordingly, it is already a fact that North Korea has medium-range ballistic missiles that can reach not only Japan, but also land Eun's nuclear gift on the west coast of the United States.

Take a closer look at satellite imagery of the infamous Fukushima nuclear power plant before the accident. And try to find an electrical substation and branch lines. You will not find them, they are not. ALL the energy of 6 not the weakest power units is NOT tied in ANY WAY to the country's energy sector. Everything is consumed locally. By the way, the spent fuel of all these units is also stored there. Does it make you think about anything? And the fact that they categorically refused to let the liquidators go there in case of an accident? What could they see there?

    soldier We divide 40 kilograms of plutonium by 6, we get 6 vigorous warheads. If they are reinforced with lithium 6 and 238 uranium, then a power of 100 kilotons is achievable. To argue that the northerners do not have delivery to Amers, after launching the satellite is unreasonable. Because a military rocket is simpler. But accuracy is not required, just blow up over the territory of America and the financial and political tsunami will cover the amers.

    lol Here is the opinion of a good expert, that means the northerners mastered thermonuclear fusion in 2010 and perhaps they have thermonuclear ammunition. The fact that the 5 kilotton test does not mean anything, the principle was worked out there, and the northerners did not want to tease amers too much. The fact that the weapon is not tested does not mean anything, it only reduces reliability. For example, our mother Kuzkina before the tests was in the same position, but it did not follow that she did not explode, the test was only confirmed. Like the northerners, there are charges and their effectiveness will be confirmed in combat conditions. Kim has no escape routes, after such a demarche he will be destroyed in any way, therefore one way, a sudden massive blow.

But the striped ones do not allow them to do this - hence the nuclear bombs and missiles. And it is right. You cannot argue against the force, if they have their own "Kuzkina mother", then the pin.dos will not go anywhere and will calm down or they will have a choice to get "Kuzkina mother" over their territory and military bases. And this will be the COMPLETE collapse of the United States. Maybe China and Russia are waiting for this ...

        And delirium about "starvation" is an American propaganda, which clouded your not strong brain.

        Yeah. And South Korea and the states probably from nefig do there from 95 to 2005 for a billion dollars each food was taken. They don’t even take them to the affair, but they took them there. You should write the Pioneer Dawn for the 79th year. Do you really think everyone will believe your multi-letter?

    The DPRK plays in its system and the DPRK’s nuclear program itself is only a cover for the possibility of using the weapons of the metropolis - that is, in large numbers if necessary.
    The current crisis was won by the DPRK and the RF turned out to be a weak link - the threat of the seizure of Primorye forced to abandon the invasion of Syria and Iran (what a pity Pu did not become Macedonian ...) and the great exercises were curtailed, and a group of 9 BDKs (6 in the Black Sea and 3 with Pacific Fleet in Arabian) so far without work. That is, mercenaries in Syria will have to fight slowly, with losses, and continue to milk the EU budget.
    It was decided to repair the Pacific Fleet - that is, to restore what they themselves destroyed - for a long time ...
    So the global tasks for the Russian Federation are now beyond its power - you can expel the old man "from the migration path of beavers" in the Nizhny Novgorod region, kill the old man in London, rob the collectors in Vnukovo ... and in serious matters - only concessions and imitation.

    Smart ass! I agree with you ... It is practically impossible to break the traditionally established trend in the development of North Korea (over the course of) the past 50 years, since the military, scientific and industrial elite, formed and living well (in comparison with the rest of the country's population), will not want changes. She doesn't need them. There is no one (neither people, nor organizations) to replace it. The DPRK has "cackled" and is brewing in its own "sake", or rather "punchhon" - a double bolk - "there are no men because there are acne, and acne because there are no men." . Pichalka! ..

    I would like to wish the DPRK victory. It is extremely unfair to register a country as an "outcast" just because it wants to follow its own path of development.
    As for the treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, it turned into a farce. The security of nuclear-free countries must be guaranteed by the nuclear powers. And in the conditions that developed after the collapse of the USSR and the Warsaw Pact, no one and no one can defend against NATO lawlessness. As shown by the events in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya. And nuclear weapons are the only deterrent to such a bandit outrage of NATO. If the countries defeated by the "democratizers" had nuclear weapons, the aggressor would think three times before attacking.
    A treaty can work only on condition that the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries is very clearly enshrined in international law and this will work. Violating this principle should immediately go under the ICC. Then it will not be necessary for small countries to throw all their forces on the creation of nuclear weapons.

      The DPRK keeps everyone on its key, its missiles can fly to Russia, China, India, only the West will benefit from this, to London, Paris its missiles will not reach at least 10 years, but they are ready to fly to Moscow. So we conclude who benefits from the DPRK nuclear missile program

    DPRK increases government spending (and maintains a budget surplus!)



    A plenary session of the Supreme People’s Assembly of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea took place the other day, during which the Minister of Finance of the country, Choi, Kwan Jin, made a report on the budget results for the past year and spoke about the new budget. It can be said almost like his British counterpart George Osborne a few weeks ago. That's just the budget of the DPRK is very different from the British in its essence !.



    DPRK government spending actually increased by 9,7% over the previous year. Real government revenues grew by 10,1%, exceeding the budget revenue plan by 1,3%. This means that the DPRK's economy actually works with a small budget surplus, in contrast to the permanent budget deficits of imperialist countries the size of billions and trillions of dollars.



    Of the budget expenditures, a huge part of the budget - as much as 38,9%! - was spent on improving living conditions and social benefits, as well as on health care and education. Government spending on social needs in the DPRK has consistently increased in the last 15 years. For the next fiscal year (until April 2014), the DPRK plans to increase government spending by 5,9%, including plans to increase spending on education by 6,8%, health care by 5,4% and social insurance by 3,7%. The cost of developing the coal mining industry, energy, metallurgy and rail transport will increase by 7,2%.



    Thus, the budget of the DPRK is a budget for the people, a truly socialist budget!

    US asks China and Russia to contain North Korea more actively

    WASHINGTON, April 2. The United States is calling on Russia and China to take a more active role in containing DPRK. This was announced on Tuesday by White House spokesman Jay Carney.
    "It's no secret that China has a potential influence on North Korea. We have already called and are calling on China to try to influence the DPRK. In addition, we call on Russia," Carney is quoted as saying by online media.

    laughing As for whether the DPRK can deliver a vigorous blow to the amers, for some reason everyone is obsessed with missiles, as if there were no other ways. For example, during the Caribbean crisis, Khrushchev sent four diesel submarines with vigorous torpedoes to Cuba. Considering that primitive diesel submarines, not adapted for swimming in warm waters, completed the task, which prevents the northerners from repeating this.
