Does North Korea Really Pose a Nuclear Threat?
North Korea definitely has the resources to develop nuclear weapons to use or to sale to other countries or terrorist. North Korea has uranium mines with an estimated four million tons of attainable high-quality uranium ore. The state and quality of the mines is unknown, but estimates proclaim that the ore contains around 0.8% extractable uranium. In the mid – 1960s they established a large-scale atomic energy research complex in Yongbyon. They used specialists from students who had been educated in the Soviet Union. There was an agreement reached between the USSR and North Korea resulting in a nuclear research center built near the small town of Yongbyon.
