North Korea Admits Nuclear Inspectors
VIENNA — Under international pressure, North Korea has allowed three inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency into the Communist nation for the first time since May.
The inspectors will replace film and other equipment in monitoring devices at a small research reactor and at a laboratory in North Korea’s nuclear complex at Yongbyon, IAEA spokesman David Kyd said Tuesday.
They also have other tasks, Kyd said, which he refused to describe. But they will not include the special inspection of two suspicious facilities where the agency demanded access earlier this year.
South Korean officials in Seoul said Tuesday that they will formally propose the resumption of talks with North Korea.
