North Korea had put its atomic program on hold in 1994 but recently threatened to resume it if Washington did not deliver promised nuclear power plants. Under a landmark 1994 accord, the U.S. pledged to replace Pyongyang's graphite reactors, which are capable of producing weapons-grade material, with the safer light-water plants.
In a startling revelation, North Korea has told the United States it has a secret nuclear weapons program in violation of an 1994 agreement with the United States.
On October 9, 2006, North Korea announced it had successfully tested a nuclear device. Here is a Google Earth kmz file of the location. This information was produced by Dr. Jeffery Lewis at armscontrolwonk.org
