In this age, when nuclear nonproliferation is receiving global popularity, it might be hard to realize that developing nuclear weapons still retains its status as the proverbial prohibited apple among a number of countries. Nations know they are not supposed to develop them, yet they are so tempted to push the envelop to the edge by attempting to develop weapons-grade uranium, just in case. Such endeavors may be viewed as stopping short of developing nuclear weapons, or keeping the indigenous knowledge honed enough for future reference. The latest surprise related to the South Korean nuclear program falls in this category. This was also a violation of the international agreement that Seoul signed not to enrich uranium for nuclear power.
