An IRT-2000 pool-type research reactor was supplied by the Soviet Union for the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center in 1963, and began operation in 1965. After upgrades to the research reactor, the fuels now used are IRT-2M-type assemblies of 36% and 80% highly enriched uranium

Well, yes, except that 99% of the accumulated plutonium of the DPRK received Calder Hall at British gas-graphite reactors.

Do you have a shred of proof to back that up or are you just pulling that number out of your keister? I suppose since you know what percentage of their plutonium stock came from where you also know how much much plutonium they have?

I’ll be waiting

Read what I posted. Pay attention to where it says the Russia reactor was upgraded to produce highly enriched uranium. A substance needed for nuclear detonation.

Repeating its a research reactor while ignoring the part that doesnt support your position doesnt invalidate that fact.

Easy
Sorry, in Russian. But there is a Google translator

And more, study this scientific report. Sorry, it is also in Russian, but in our globalized world this is not a problem.

You forgot to specify how much weapons-grade plutonium even after upgrading it is capable of producing this reactor. Keep in mind that after working off, all fuel assemblies are always taken by Russia for disposal. This applies to any countries.

For all respected colleagues.

Keep in mind that as before the USSR, and now Russia is not profitable possession of the DPRK nuclear weapons. But when Russia is faced with the opportunity, when the United States wants to turn a country on our border into a second Libya, then you have to compare risks and draw conclusions based on your own security.

From your own link:

Design reactors Calder Hall type Magnox was declassified in the late 1950s and was in the public domain for the members of the IAEA , North Korea joined the IAEA in 1974, thereby obtaining the circuit of the reactor. The DPRK started the construction of the first gas - graphite nuclear reactor in 1979 or 1980. On August 14, 1985, the reactor reached criticality and began operations in 1986. In the DPRK, it is called an experimental nuclear power reactor. The electrical power of the first North Korean nuclear reactor is 5 MW, thermal power - from 20 to 30 MW. [8] Reactors of this type were used in England for producing plutonium and electricity. [ten]

The designs were PUBLIC DOMAIN , the UK did not provide any percentage of their plutonium just because their reactor design which was unclassified was copied by the DPRK in no way makes the UK complicit in the production of plutonium. They did not sell or give the plans directly that had been published it technical journals which the Khan network sold to the DPRK so if you want to try to use that flimsy logic to lay blame on the UK perhaps you should blame it on Pakistan instead.

You seem to be trying pretty hard to twist facts to meet your narrative.

Do you really think that any country, even a technologically backward country, has enough simple drawings to build a technologically complex object? It is impossible to build a British nuclear reactor without tens of thousands of British nodes and mechanisms and their manufacturing technology. So agents of the DPRK around the world bought and smuggled in their country, these nodes and mechanisms. Without corruption it is impossible

It’s the generic plans adapted to whatever equipment the DPRK could acquire through sources like the Kahn network facilitating them getting equipment and adapting to their use. But yeah this is totally the US and UK’s fault. 🙄

I think there is a joke about the WMD's around the world. The U.S says we know they have WMD's because will still have the receipt for it

These leaders of these countries are smart. You need weapons of mass destruction to protect your country. Look what happend to those who give theirs up. Country invaded and leader killed.
