An update on the lack of progress with inspections in NK.

While North Korea harvested enough plutonium for more than six bombs from the restarted reactor -- which it is now disabling -- questions have persisted from the U.S. side on whether Pyongyang has pursued uranium enrichment.
In his own report, Hecker noted that North Korean officials asserted they had resolved all queries on uranium enrichment, even allowing U.S. experts last year to visit a missile factory using the tubes and permitting them to take samples home.
Government scientists later discovered traces of enriched uranium on the samples.
When Hecker asked to see the factory, he was told that North Korean "military and industrial officials were extremely unhappy with the access the Americans were granted and with the fact that they were given samples of the aluminum tubes. . . . I was told that neither I, nor anyone else, will get access again." |
