Chinese expert Chu Xuming told Xinhua that the team of international nuclear experts made a detailed plan on disabling the Yongbyong nuclear facilities after they returned to Pyongyang Thursday following a two-day inspection trip to Yongbyong.

The plan will be presented to the next round of the six-party talks in Beijing, Chu said Friday.

The team, led by a US State Department official, consists of seven experts from the US, one from China and one from Russia.

The team of experts Friday held a whole day of in-depth discussions with their North Korean counterparts on the measures required to disable the nuclear facilities.

The experts visited the country at Pyongyang’s invitation, which was described as a “significant step toward the denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula” by US Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill last week.
