Chapter 2 Ways of export

North Korea exports nuclear and ballistic missile technology all around the world. But more close trade relations of North Korea were with Iran, Egypt, Lybia and Syria from 1980 to 1990 years.

Iran

Iran was a main customer and financier of the production of missile technologies in North Korea. Teheran agreed to finance a construction of rockets of Pyongyang in exchange for the technologies of creation technologies Scud and Buying North Korean Scud as soon as they roll off the production line Iran got the first Scud in the end of 1987. In February in 1988 nearly 100 rockets were delivered to Iran. In 1991 it was said in press that Iran ordered to deliver 200 Scud-B and Scud-Cs additionally .In April of 1996 Binford Pia who was a head of Central Command of the USA declared that Iran was trying to buy rockets Nodong from North Korea. In addition to finished missiles, U.S. officials believe that Iran has also received a Scud factory and test facility as part of the deal. "Iran wants their own stuff now, to avoid dependence on outsiders for weapon supplies," a State Department official tells the Risk Report. North Koreans reportedly helped build a large missile test facility at Emamshahr and a tracking facility at Tabas.

Egypt

Almost all successes in making missile technology are connected with Egypt. After more than 15 years of help Cairo can produce its own version of Scud-B and more improved version of Scud-C.

Lybia

Lybia planned to acquire Scud-Cs and Nodong-I. According to the information in the press Tripoly has already made an arrangement to buy Nodon and a technology of its production in Lybia.

Syria.

In the end of 1980s Syria was seeking the partners to the delivery of new rockets surface-to-surface missiles and a help in modernization of Syrian arsenal. Damaskus applied to Pyongyang and concluded a contract for buying more than 150 North Korean Scud-Cs. In 1991, North Korea delivered an estimated 24 Scud-Cs and 20 mobile launchers, and in March 1992 shipped some unknown quantity of additional Scuds to Syria through Iran. Syria flight-tested Scud-C missiles in July 1992, in mid-1994, and in the summer of 1996. Israeli and Western officials also report that Syria is now building its own Scud-C missile factory with North Korean help. [1]

he main nuclear facility in the country is The Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center. It is located in the County of Yongbyon in the province of Phyeonganpukto, about 90 miles north of Pyongyang. He has been a center for the production of fissile material for nuclear tests in 2006 and 2009, and since 2009 engaged in the development and construction of light water reactors.

The center includes: 1) fuel fabrication plant based on natural uranium, and 2) short-term storage for spent fuel, and 3) experimental reactor 5MW power generation and heat supply, 4) Department for recovery of uranium and plutonium from spent nuclear fuel.

The Magnox facilities were disabled in 2007 in accord with the six-party talks agreement, but following the breakdown of that agreement were partially re-enabled in 2009 to reprocess existing stocks of spent fuel. [2]

n 2009, Korea announced intentions to build a light water reactor (LWR). Construction began in November 2010 and is growing rapidly. By the fall of 2011 were almost built exterior design of the reactor. The next phase will require special construction materials and equipment. Experts have concluded that the reactor will be commissioned in 2-3 years. Now there is no doubt that the new LWR meet international safety standards, as North Korea has no independent regulatory bodies and ensure safe operation of the LWR. [3]

As for the nuclear fuel cycle, then North Korea has mastered the fuel cycle and based on plutonium and uranium-based. Under construction will use the LWR uranium fuel cycle.
