IAEA calls on N.K. to comply with nuclear inspection
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) called on North Korea to
cooperate with plans for an international inspection of its nuclear
activities during its annual general conference last week.
The U.N. nuclear watchdog adopted a resolution without vote, "strongly
encouraging the DPRK (North Korea) to respond positively" to the IAEA's
proposal earlier this year that North Korea take the first "concrete steps"
required for the verification process without delay.
"The IAEA is continuing to monitor the 'freeze' on facilities under
the 1994 Agreed Framework between the United States and DPRK, but it remains
unable to verify fully the DPRK's initial 1992 declaration of its nuclear
program," the resolution said.
The IAEA meeting will be held in Vienna, Austria, from Sep. 17-21.
The nuclear agency has lodged similar demands every year since the
crisis involving North Korea's suspected nuclear weapons programs erupted in
1994.
Under a 1994 deal with Washington, the North froze its nuclear weapons
programs in exchange for receiving two safer light water nuclear reactors
(LWRs) from a U.S.-led international consortium.
The agreement, known as the Agreed Framework, requires Pyongyang to
allow a full inspection by the IAEA before major reactor components arrive
in the North.
The IAEA has demanded that the North allow the inspection to begin
next year because verification may take two to three years.
North Korea rejected the demand because the completion of the reactors
is likely to be delayed several years behind the target year of 2003.
Pyongyang said that it will allow an inspection only when most of the
reactor project has been completed.
