N Korea to expel nuclear inspectors

December 28 2002

North Korea will expel UN nuclear inspectors who have been
monitoring its atomic facilities under a non-proliferation pact, South
Korea's Yonhap news agency quoted the North as saying last night.

North Korea has decided to expel the two-man team of International
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors because they were no
longer needed, according to Yonhap, which publishes reports by the
North's state-run Korean Central News Agency.

"As our freeze on nuclear facilities has been lifted, the mission of
IAEA inspectors, who have been in Yongbyon under the (1994)
Agreed Framework between North Korea and the US, has naturally
drawn to an end," it quoted from a letter sent by North Korea to the
IAEA.

"In a situation where there is no longer justification for the inspectors
to stay in our country, our government has decided to send them
out."

The IAEA, the United Nations' nuclear watchdog, said yesterday it
had "serious non-proliferation concerns" after North Korea said it
planned to restart the Yongbyon nuclear reactor, which was frozen
in 1994 after a crisis over North Korea's nuclear arms ambitions.

The reactor and three related facilities at Yongbyon, 90km north of
the capital Pyongyang, were
mothballed under a 1994 pact with the United States, which offered
oil and safer reactors in return.

The US said in October that the North had admitted operating a
secret weapons program using highly enriched uranium. In
response, it and its allies suspended fuel oil shipments to the North
in December.

North Korea says it is reactivating the plant to produce electricity to
make up for lost fuel oil supplies. It also insists on its right to have
nuclear weapons and wants the US to sign a non- aggression pact.

you find that it agrees with reason and is conducive to the good
and benefit of one and all.  Then accept it and live up to it."
