North Korea, which has produced enough plutonium for an estimated six to eight bombs, said on Friday it had made advances in uranium enrichment, a move analysts saw as a tactic to put pressure on regional powers after a month of conciliatory gestures. "This is not the first we have heard of HEU (highly enriched uranium) and it may not be the last," Stephen Bosworth told reporters in Seoul, a day after having talks with South Korean. "If we are going to deal as we wish with the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, this is an issue that will have to be clarified," said Bosworth, who has just visited Beijing and will next visit Tokyo to discuss stalled six-country diplomatic efforts on ending the North's nuclear arms program. The U.S. has long suspected North Korea of trying to enrich uranium for weapons but proliferation experts said the North is nowhere near a full scale program, and it would take several years at least before it could reach that stage. Bosworth said the enrichment was a concern and: "We have just begun to consider the question of what we might do in response." A switch to uranium would alarm Western powers because it could be done away from the prying eyes of U.S. spy satellites, it may lead to enhanced cooperation with Iran and it could lure customer states keen to start their own nuclear arms programs. North Korea's broken economy was dealt a heavy blow by U.N. sanctions for its nuclear test in May that were aimed at cutting into its arms trade, which is a vital source of cash that brings it an estimated hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Analysts said the North's moves to warm ties by freeing U.S. and South Korean citizens it held captive and trying to restore frozen business connections with the South were aimed at helping it bring cash to its depleted coffers. But in a move that could raise tension with Seoul, fire officials said on six South Koreans were missing near the border with North Korea after a sudden rise in a river possibly due to water released from a dam in the North.
