The Nuclear-Weapons Complex and Denuclearization of North Korea

The result of the implementation of the DPRK’s nuclear weapons program was the creation and successful testing of a thermonuclear explosive device. Over a fifty-year period, the nuclear industry was established in the country, including all the necessary enterprises, from uranium ore mining, enr...
