Publication of images of centrifuge cascades for the production of enriched uranium in the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK) or North Korea send a strong bid for attention ahead of the US presidential election in November. “The DPRK has succeeded in miniaturizing its weapons stockpile and is moving to a logical and practical ongoing weapons program”, says nuclear engineer and analyst Bob Kelley.
Bob Kelley is a nuclear engineer with extensive experience in nuclear weapons programs and non-proliferation efforts. He spent over 35 years working in various capacities, primarily with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), before moving into international roles.
