1 Beats me why they weren't sent by rail.

2 Maybe they weren't sent by rail as China kind of controls the rails around NKorea. Maybe China wants the sub reactors or doesn't want NKorea to have them?

4 Considering that there's been several Russian cargo ships with unexplained explosions in that particular part of the eastern Med., I'm inclined to think that there's some Uke sappers active in the area that board in the dead of night amd place charges. Just a week ago the Arctic Metagaz LNG carrier finally sank off the coast of Libya.

6 RE#2: Russia developed a massive rail transshipment point in North Korea in the 1960s-1970s timeframe, in the North Korean town of Tumangang. They easily could have moved the reactors by rail, if they were small enough and not too heavy. May have been over-large for all the tunnels on the Trans-Siberian, but the Baikal-Amur link isn't so restricted.
