North Korea’s Ministry of Atomic Energy is building a new plant to make graphite. The graphite can be used to make artificial isotopes or as a moderator. Both cases are code for use in nuclear reactors, implying that North Korea is actively seeking buyers who would use the graphite for nuclear purposes. This plant would be the second high-quality graphite production plant in North Korea. The other one is administered by the Second Economic Committee and makes graphite for missile programs domestically and abroad.
