If North Korea tests a third nuclear device it will be fueled by highly enriched uranium (HEU) for the first time, South Korean Foreign Minister Kim Sung Hwan and U.S. nuclear expert Siegfried Hecker said yesterday.
Foreign Minister Kim yesterday attended a meeting of the National Assembly’s Foreign Affairs, Trade and Unification Committee and when asked if the North could have already manufactured a powerful hydrogen bomb, responded, “There is a possibility that they could use enriched uranium fuel.”
