South Korea expects North Korea to resume disabling work

By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
A South Korean official said he expects North Korea to immediately resume work to disable its nuclear reactor after the United States removed the country from a list of states that sponsor terrorism. Kim Sook, South Korea's chief envoy to international nuclear talks with North Korea, made the comment to reporters Sunday. Kim said North Korea has informed the US it would immediately resume disabling work at its Yongbyon nuclear facility in tandem with the US announcement. North Korea halted disabling work in anger with the US over what it called a delay in the terror delisting and began moves aimed at potentially restarting the plutonium-producing facility north of the capital Pyongyang.
