Summary: Suspect Kangsong Enrichment Plant
• We have learned of a suspect gas centrifuge site, in addition to the one at the Yongbyon Nuclear Center, that has the name of Kangsong. It may have other names as well.
• We have not located this site, although we received a description of the building from more than two independent governmental sources. Its operation allegedly started several years ago.
• If it is a centrifuge plant, we are unaware of any information on how well it has operated.
• The original information about this site came from a defector several years ago who stated he worked near this site. Defector information must be confirmed. However, we have received the names of other alleged centrifuge sites that we viewed as less credible than the information about Kangsong. Moreover, this site appears to have received greater foreign governmental scrutiny and credibility than the other sites, particularly by the United States.
• The exact number of centrifuges in the secret facility is difficult to predict but we have been told that governments estimate that it could contain 6,000-12,000 P2 centrifuges,

Comparison of Estimated WGU Stock and Total Nuclear Weapons under Two Scenarios Considered
• Conservative, earlier Institute estimate, assuming two cases where either one or two centrifuge plants was assumed:
• 14-33 nuclear weapons
• 230-760 kilograms of weapon-grade uranium, where 230 kilograms corresponds to a median estimate for the case of one centrifuge plant and 760 kilograms corresponds to the median estimate for the case of two centrifuge plants.
• 30 kilograms of separated plutonium
• Two centrifuge plants estimate (increasingly likely and relevant to developing verification approaches):
• 26 to 44 nuclear weapons
• 600 to 1,000 kilograms of weapon-grade uranium
• 30 kilograms of separated plutonium

ISIS?
We knew there were more ...
Do people really think the one that collapsed was their ONLY one?
For people who spend all day reading news, they can be naive.

Kangsong is the the concept of supreme power by the state.
Could be they are referring to the new hall at Yongbyon that has about 2,000 centrifuges built in August 2015.
