It will only be a matter of months before North Korea starts leveraging their reactor for favors again. Imagery indicates the Yongbyon nuclear facility has been reactivated. The plant has had a troubled history with the world from being the target of a '90s era preemptive attack in OPLAN 5026 to being the subject of six-party talks in the early '00s for deactivation. North Korea has quite a history of using the plant as a means of trading its deactivation for concessions from the west. It is suggested that Yongbyon, although a lightwater reactor, could easily be changed for plutonium enrichment.
