UN Adds 32 Items to List of Prohibited Goods for N. Korea

A United Nations(UN) committee has added 32 items to a list of prohibited items of dual use that could be used by North Korea as weapons.
 
The Associated Press said on Monday that the UN Security Council Sanctions Committee on North Korea reported the additions to the Security Council.
 
The additions reportedly range from boxes that can be used to carry radioactive materials to continuous cooling systems, flash X-ray machines and seismic detection equipment.
 
The newly banned items also include particle accelerators, "software for neutronic calculations," and "radiation-hardened television cameras.”
 
A UN source said devices that can be used for the North's nuclear activities or nuclear tests were added to the list. The listed goods of dual use will be prohibited from sale or transfer to North Korea.
