The DPRK leader “stressed the need to further augment the number of centrifuges in order to exponentially increase the nuclear weapons for self-defense true to the Party’s line of building up nuclear armed forces.” The production facility must also “further raise the individual separation ability of the centrifuge and push forward the introduction of a new-type centrifuge which has already reached its completion stage as planned so as to further strengthen the foundation for producing weapon-grade nuclear materials,” according to the Rodong Sinmun report.
