Yongbyon enrichment plant
Yongbyon enrichment plant is a enrichment facility operated by General Bureau of Atomic Energy in North Korea. Its capacity is not publicly disclosed.
Shown to visiting American scientists in 2010, on the site of North Korea's plutonium production reactor. No inspector has been in the country since 2009, so everything about it is inferred from satellite imagery and that one visit.
