Yongbyon Reactor’s Heat Signal Vanishes on Satellite Scans

Yongbyon reactor’s heat signal vanishes on satellite scans

Satellite thermal data show that North Korea’s 5MWe reactor at the Yongbyon nuclear complex is registering surface temperatures far colder than its surroundings, even while the facility remains in operation — an anomaly that may reflect a deliberate effort to defeat infrared monitoring. The unusual thermal pattern has persisted since North Korea completed an exterior renovation of the reactor… Source
