[quote]North Korea has "at least one other" uranium enrichment site in addition to the one shown to US experts last month, the US State Department has said.
The country's enrichment programme "reflects work being done at at least one other site", a spokesman said.
A New York Times report quoted unnamed intelligence officials, saying North Korea was using "significantly more advanced" nuclear technology than Iran.
Enriched uranium can be used for nuclear fuel or made into weapons.
'Not out of thin air'
North Korea revealed what appeared to be a fully operational uranium enrichment plant at its Yongbyon atomic complex to US nuclear expert Siegfried Hecker on 12 November.
Officials in the US and South Korea have said in recent days the facility shown to the expert last month could not have been constructed so quickly if other secret sites or another completed uranium enrichment plant did not already exist in the country.
"We're very conscious of the fact that, in the recent revelations to American delegations, what they saw did not come out of thin air," US state department spokesman Philip Crowley said.
"It certainly reflects work being done at at least one other site."
South Korean Foreign Minister Kim Sung-hwan would not confirm a media report that Pyongyang had three to four plants to enrich uranium. But Mr Sung-hwan said he believed there were facilities in North Korea aside from the Yongbyon site.
"It is a report based on what is still intelligence and let me just say that we have been following this issue for some time," Mr Sung-hwan said on Tuesday.
The news comes weeks after North Korea shelled Yeonpyeong, a small South Korean island, over a disputed maritime boundary, killing four people.[/quote]

Pretty much everybody is in the UN, it'd be far easier to list the few nations that aren't.

I'm pretty sure Taiwan is, actually.
Perfect. Now Best Korea can launch Best Nukes at Worst Korea and retarded Capitalist USA!
:clint:

They'll explode mid air and irradiate most of Best Korea with Best Radiation. Then in addition to starving to death, they'll be minus a few rockets, hair, and non-mutated cells. Yay, Cancer!

Nope. Taiwan got ousted the the People's Republic of China.
How do you know North Korea isn't going to use the nuclear fuel to power stuff up rather than use all of it for just bombs, is that what all countries do if they have nuclear fuel?
haven't we already concluded that no matter what north korea does they cannot win any kind of war?
[QUOTE=Chopstick;26708098]How do you know North Korea isn't going to use the nuclear fuel to power stuff up rather than use all of it for just bombs, is that what all countries do if they have nuclear fuel?[/QUOTE]
Because it's North Korea.

What the fuck are you worried about, the Norths warheads will go into the air, spin out thanks to their shitty rocket tech and land in north korea the rockets are that shit.

Indeed, with those premature dongs we can create another game: S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Pyongyang
Thing is, they've already got a plutonium reactor that is far more suitable for making bombs. It would be rather stupid of them to build new uranium facilities when they can just re-activate that. If I remember correctly, the one facility that US scientist went to see was, according to him, ill-suited for weapons manufacture. More likely these uranium enrichment facilities are for civilian use.
EDIT: My bad, they've already re-activated plutonium enrichment.
