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.
