...TRIGA Mark III research reactor located in a dilapidated building in a residential suburb of Seoul. In the 1970s and '80s, the TRIGA Mark III was used by Korean nuclear scientists to test nuclear fuel and study isotopes. In April or May 1982, scientists took an irradiated test fuel rod from the reactor and placed it in one of the research installation's "hot cells," a room clad with lead to block radioactivity. Using robotic arms and peering through a leaded window, the scientists sliced open the rod and dissolved it. That process separated a small quantity of the plutonium...

The Ministry of Science and Technology says it reported the experiment to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in 1983, but its report had a significant error.

The IAEA had no reason to be alarmed until 1997, when an inspection of the facility by the IAEA turned up traces of plutonium...
