#4 Three possibilities:
1. They've hit a snag, and need to back up a bit.
2. They've done all they want to do.
3. They've "had a little accident", and need to wait until things stop glowing.

Dealing with nuclear material is different than dealing with ANYTHING else. The NKor have a reputation for not being careful in their programs - tunnels collapsing, equipment not made to specification, but accepted anyway, and just plain carelessness. You only have one chance when you deal with nuke material - goof it up, and you're dead - along with several dozen of your "lab partners". Russia knows - they've had several "accidents".
Be interesting to see what settles out from all of this.

#5 Old Patriot there is another possibility. They have another site up and running somewhere else in their charming gulag.
