Hong Kong. November 25. INTERFAX - North Korea seems to be continuing to operate a nuclear reactor producing plutonium at the Yongbyon nuclear research complex, according to the American resource 38 North, which tracks Pyongyang's activities, citing recent satellite images.

"Steam is coming from the reactor's generator room, which indicates that at least one of the generators is working," the report says.

"In addition, water continues to be discharged from the auxiliary pipe into the channel leading to the Kuren River," 38 North notes.

In September, the IAEA said in a published report 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.

In addition, the IAEA report says that there is also evidence of work at the radiochemical laboratory in Yongbyon in the period from mid-February to early July.
