N Korea suspends work of its only nuclear reactor

TOKYO, April 18 (Itar-Tass) - North Korea has shot down its only
operating nuclear reactor in Yongbyon, director of the North American
Affairs Department of the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
Trade Kim Suk has said, according to reports coming form Seoul. 

According to specialists, this may mean Pyongyang has launched the
preparation for the retrieval of fuel rods from the reactor for
obtaining weapons grade plutonium. 

Kim Suk said several sources have confirmed the reactor has been shut
down. The official nevertheless added the situation needs further
analysis. 

The press earlier quoted U.S. sources claiming that Pyongyang began in
early April to retrieve fuel rods from the Yongbyon reactor. 

According to U.S. estimates, North Korea can already have at least two
nuclear warheads.
