Possible North Korean nuclear facility identified: ISIS

Research institute says site is consistent with defector claims, seeking additional confirmation

Satellite imagery analysis has possibly helped to locate and identify a former nuclear related facility in North Korea, according to a report published by the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) on Wednesday.

The report, authored by David Albright, is a preliminary site identification of an “early small-scale centrifuge enrichment plant” located within 45 kilometers of the existing Yongbyon nuclear research facility.
