Why would Russia put nuclear reactor components for DPRK on a boat… near Spain? They have a land border… and train links.
This is the stupidest propaganda story I’ve read in weeks.

If something’s visible in aerial photos, it’s probably way too big to ship by train. If it fit in a container, they’d slap it in one and it’d stay hidden from the sky.
It was most likely built in western Russia, and the route from St. Petersburg to North Korea runs through the Mediterranean, past Spain.

65 tons? Most train cars are rated for way more than 100 tons.
“aerial imagery” covers drones flying at 20m.
Have you never looked at a map? St. Petersberg is on the baltic sea. Regardless of where in west Russia is starts at going by sea takes it more than half way around the world.
