Seoul, South Korea : North Korea planned to resume dismantling its nuclear program Tuesday for the first time in two months, days after the United States removed the communist regime from a terrorism blacklist as a reward under a disarmament pact.
Pyongyang has told the International Atomic Energy Agency that it would restart work to disable the Yongbyon nuclear reactor and allow international inspectors to resume their activity, according to a restricted IAEA document to the agency’s 35 board members and obtained by The Associated Press.
Separately, IAEA spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said agency inspectors will also now be permitted to reapply the containment and surveillance measures at the reprocessing
facility. That meant agency seals taken off the plant and monitoring cameras recently removed at the North’s orders would be restored.
