"If you don't have that base line, you'll never have closure on whether there's up to two weapons' worth of plutonium floating around somewhere in North Korea,"

I am wondering just how much weapons grade uranium and plutonium could be in North Korea. Now, as the possibility of a preemptive strike seems greater, the pundit and "expert" class seems to be minimizing the potential amount as it suites their purposes.

Experts say 6 pounds a year since refinement. It had produced some and It had purchased some too. The 8000 rods were explicitly for refinement. They already have the bomb, but I think they have (very conservative est) at least 100 pounds.
