A UN committee has added 32 items that have both civilian and military uses to a list prohibited goods and technologies banned from sale or transfer to North Korea.
The committee that monitors sanctions against North Korea said in a report to the Security Council circulated Monday that the additions range from boxes that can be used to carry radioactive materials to continuous cooling systems, flash X-ray machines and seismic detection equipment.
A resolution adopted unanimously by the Security Council on September 11 imposed new sanctions North Korea for its nuclear and ballistic missile tests and asked the sanctions committee to come up with new designations of so-called dual-use items.
Other banned items include particle accelerators, "software for neutronic calculations," concentrated forms of nitric acid, equipment to detect, monitor and measure radiation, and "radiation-hardened television cameras."
