#1 KCNA's rants have turned to dust. Their Olympic propaganda gold medalist must have died from starvation years ago. In the good olde days, they would have had a page of fire and brimstone rants on a subject like this.

#4 They already blew up the cooling tower, and they don't have the money to rebuild anything. What can they really do at this point?

#7 You do not have to have a cooling tower, just a nearby river will do nicely.

Not to mention it's much smaller and harder to find.
You CAN find such cooling by satlite thermogram,(The river is warmer here than upstream, so look inbetween for the nuke plant)

#8 RJ, there are several other ways to spot the use of a river for cooling. I won't go into them here, but it's been done several times. Jack is probably right - they're playing US Election politics. I don't think it's going to work this time.

#9 TOPIX > PRO-NORTH KOREA PAPER WARNS NUCLEAR TENSIONS COULD RISE + ANALYSTS: NORTH KOREA STILL HOLDS THE PLUTONIUM CARD. NEW NUCLEAR BOMB TESTS + SIX-MILYUHN DOLLAR MAN/NORTH KOREA = Can do it better, stronger, faster, and in any case already has nuke bombs; + ASIA IS GETTING READY TO KICK THE USA IN THE FANNY.

KOMMERSANT > KIM/NORTH KOREA OPENS UP A SECOND FRONT. Artic - NOKOR doesn't actually need Yongybon nucfac anymore. NK already has enuff processed nucmats for 12 nuclear bombs + can easily relocate any new nucfacs to its far north and deep inside impenetrable mountains.
