Curtis Melvin, a researcher at the US-Korea Institute
Washington - Yonhap

Commercial satellite imagery shows that construction of the power plant began sometime in late 2010 or early 2011 in Kangdong County, in eastern Pyongyang, said Curtis Melvin, a researcher at the US-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, in a report on the website 38 North.
