Derek Mitchell, a senior fellow with the CSIS International Security Program, was quoted by Reuters, "North Korea Set to Destroy Reactor Cooling Tower."
SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea is set to blow up the cooling tower at its nuclear plant on Friday, a symbolic move to show its commitment to a disarmament deal a day after it handed over a long-delayed account of its nuclear program.
"The problem is that they always feel that they can continue to game the system and appear to keep the window open -- actions like blowing up cooling towers on TV for propaganda effect that I'm not sure have much practical effect," said Derek Mitchell, Asia expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
