This will only produce failed nuclear bombs. China and Russia add to the loss of uranium-235 after they pulled out of an alliance with Kim Jong-un, quelling all military trade between the countries. Though nukes can’t be immediately built, North Korean enrichment facilities have doubled in size, which means production of uranium-235 could be happening right now, but refurbishing an element that emits deadly byproducts can be catastrophic for North, and even parts of South Korea. Resources are expensive to a normal economy can be almost unaffordable, but to a country that has no trade routes, and must stimulate their economy solely from the inside, the results could bankrupt them; forcing North Korea to stop production which could produce large quantities of deadly radioactive waste that could non-intentionally kill
