Moscow. September 5. INTERFAX-The IAEA report, which declares the resumption of the operation of a nuclear reactor in North Korea's Yongbyon, is not supported by weighty evidence, an informed source told Interfax.

According to the interlocutor of the agency, the evidence given in the report of the resumption of the reactor's operation is the discharge of hot water recorded on satellite photos, traces of the activity of the radiochemical laboratory - smoke coming from the pipe of the boiler house located on its territory.

"This is still a pull by the ears. I am not at all sure that the release of water, which is visible from the satellite, is the resumption of work. The resumption of the reactor's operation is a much more serious event, " he added.

According to the source, from a military-technical point of view, such measures are currently useless for the DPRK, "there is no goal that such actions could help achieve."

He admitted that the launch of the reactor could be used by the DPRK as a " means of provocation, urging the United States to dialogue," but expressed doubt that Pyongyang had taken this path.

The IAEA, in a report published last Monday, said that North Korea probably resumed work on the production of fuel for nuclear weapons at the main nuclear complex in Yongbyon from July 2021.

According to the data presented in the report, we are talking about a five - megawatt reactor at a facility that produces plutonium-one of the key components for the production of nuclear weapons.
