"According to the copy of the report obtained by The Yomiuri Shimbun, the IAEA condemned North Korea as the circumstances violate U.N. Security Council resolutions that require the nations abandonment of nuclear and missile programs. The report gave a detailed description of the reality of the nations nuclear development based on satellite observations and information analyses over the past year.
A graphite-moderated reactor is a facility to produce weapons-grade plutonium by burning uranium fuel. After burning uranium fuel which takes years spent fuel is removed from the reactor, from which plutonium may be extracted at a reprocessing plant.
According to the report, discharge of vapor a sign of the reactor operating was confirmed at the Yongbyon graphite-moderated reactor, as well as draining of warmed cooling water. Its operation has been suspended several times after the currently used nuclear fuel was put into the reactor in December 2015. This time, the burning of the uranium fuel is believed to have been conducted for a longer period compared to in the past.
Meanwhile, signs of operation were confirmed at a steam heating facility, located next to a reprocessing plant in Yongbyon, from late April to early May. However, a longer operation period is needed to extract plutonium from spent fuel. Thus the operation could have been part of preparation to start the reprocessing plant, or aimed at maintenance."
I don’t trust anything from the UN they despise Trump.

Trump needs to halt all negotiations with NK right now. All sanction put back/stay in place.
