**North Korea has completed the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel rods to extract weapons-grade plutonium, according to its official news agency.**The Korean Central News Agency said the fuel rods - from the Yongbyon nuclear complex - had provided enough plutonium to make at least one atomic bomb.
The statement comes one day after North Korea said it was ready for talks with the US on its nuclear programme.
It also threatened to “go its own way” if Washington refused direct talks.
