Powered by plutonium, says report

WASHINGTON: U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded that last week's nuclear test by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) was fuelled by plutonium, the New York Times reported on Tuesday.

The newspaper quoted unidentified officials as reporting that the explosion was most likely not fuelled by uranium, but rather by plutonium harvested from its small nuclear reactor.

The U.S. authorities and intelligence officials were reportedly watching for indications that the DPRK might be preparing for a second nuclear test.
