North Korea says will restart nuclear arms plant SEOUL: North Korea said on Tuesday it saw talks on ending its nuclear weapons programme as “useless” and it planned to restart a plant that makes arms-grade plutonium, state media quoted its Foreign Ministry as saying.

The comments came in response to the U.N. Security Council unanimously condemning North Korea’s long-range rocket launch nearly two weeks ago as contravening a U.N. ban, and demanding enforcement of existing sanctions against Pyongyang.

“We will actively consider building our own light-water nuclear reactor, will revive nuclear facilities and reprocess used nuclear fuel rods,” local news agency quoted the ministry as saying.
