The announcement by North Korea that reactivate all its nuclear facilities, including the Yongbyon reactor that produces plutonium and uranium enrichment plant, put the magnifying glass of the international community about the credibility of its nuclear weapons program. Pyongyang has promoted in recent years its nuclear plans, but still seems far from able to meet its recent threats to hit U.S. because, according to experts, has not bombs small enough to be carried on a ballistic missile and has not been proven that available rockets capable of reaching its shores. The most immediate danger posed by missiles and short range, or the proliferation of nuclear material and technology. Still, the North Korean military announced Thursday that it has green light to launch a nuclear attack against the United States.
In a note released by the North's KCNA news agency, as recorded by France Presse, General of the Army announced that it has officially informed Washington that the Americans will be "crushed" by nuclear means "innovative, smaller, lighter and Diversified ". "The ruthless operation" of the North Korean forces, the statement said, "has definitely been examined and upheld" and war could break out "today or tomorrow", "the time of the explosion is fast approaching." The North Korean military has also warned the United States that "would do better if you reflect on the current serious situation."
Pyongyang goes well one more step in the escalating rhetoric incited with the statement that reactivate the Yongbyon facilities, an announcement that binds to the reprisals carried out in recent weeks in response to UN sanctions by firing a rocket last December, according to the U.S., was the test of a ballistic missile - Pyongyang says it was the launch of a satellite-, and nuclear test performed in February. The North also is furious military maneuvers being conducted in South Korea and the U.S. in the Korean peninsula.
North Korea says it needs nuclear weapons program to address what he calls the "hostile" policy and Washington's intention of invading the North. The regime believes it is your best tool for deterrence against an intervention such as Iraq, and uses it as a political tool to try to restore relations with the U.S., South Korea and Japan.
The North still not able to mount nuclear warheads on missiles small
"Our nuclear force is a reliable deterrent and a guarantee to protect our sovereignty. Peace, prosperity and happiness of the people may be on the basis of a strong nuclear power, "he said Sunday North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. The heart of its atomic program is located in the central Yongbyon complex dating from the sixties, and whose first reactor was supplied by the Soviet Union. The facility is located about 100 kilometers north of Pyongyang. In 1986, was added which is now its main reactor, five megawatt graphite-moderated, which produces plutonium. In 2007 he was paralyzed in the context of denuclearization agreement then foundered. The cooling tower was demolished in 2008.
The reactivation of the Yongbyon reactor, which could be held within three months to a year, would allow the North to return to produce plutonium. The reprocessing of fuel rods after a year of reactor operation could generate about seven kilograms of plutonium, enough for a nuclear bomb, according to experts. Pyongyang has said it will also launch uranium enrichment plant. Both facilities can produce fuel for atomic bombs. The North Korean government maintains that the goal of the plant is to produce electricity. The construction of two reactors capable of generating plutonium was suspended in 1994 following an agreement with the U.S..
The main Yongbyon reactor was the only source of plutonium, but it is estimated that the country has a stock of 24-42 kilograms, enough to make four to eight bombs similar to those used by Washington against Japan in Nagasaki. Washington suspects North Korea also has a program of uranium for military use. Pyongyang revealed that enriched uranium in 2010, when he allowed a group of visiting foreign experts centrifuge facilities, but said that the enrichment was only low-level energy. Some analysts believe, however, that prepares secret highly enriched uranium for years.
Pyongyang also has ballistic missiles that can reach U.S. shores
Is easier to design an atomic bomb with highly enriched uranium with plutonium, but this is more suitable for the manufacture of nuclear warheads small enough to be mounted on missiles, something that Pyongyang needs if you are planning a nuclear attack. It is believed that the North does not dominate miniaturization technology, but the question is how soon.
The Pentagon has announced this afternoon that install missile interceptors in the U.S. territory of Guam in the Pacific, according to Reuters. The U.S. defense secretary, Chuck Hagel, and mid-March said the deployment of similar devices in Alaska and a radar in Japan.
Hagel has said that nuclear threats uttered by North Korea pose a "real and serious threat" to Japan, South Korea and the United States. "They have now a nuclear capability and ballistic and dangerous bellicose rhetoric is increasing (...), this is a real and serious danger and a threat to the interests of allies in the region."
In 2006 and 2009, North Korea carried out two nuclear tests of plutonium devices. The first is believed to have problems, and the second was low power.
But analysts think that made Feb. 12 may have been of a uranium bomb. This fuel has its advantages for the North, since it has substantial deposits of uranium and technology and machinery to enrich it can be transferred more easily. And this is the great concern of the U.S., the proliferation of weapons and nuclear technology to countries like Iran and Syria, or terrorist groups.
Nuclear transfer or use of weapons of mass destruction "would be considered a grave threat to the U.S. or its allies, and we will fully responsible to North Korea of consequences," said Tom Dillon last month, the national security adviser of President Obama. Pyongyang is believed that Syria helped build what service agents of U.S. intelligence said was a nuclear reactor intended to produce plutonium. Israeli aircraft bombed the facility in 2007.
Besides having to miniaturize nuclear head, the North has not proven yet that has ballistic missiles capable of reaching the U.S. west coast. However, it has missiles of short and medium range, which could hit South Korea, Japan and U.S. bases in these two countries.
