...flutter of laundry on clotheslines. But the laundry has been there, day and night, since April 27. On that day, most of the town's 40,000 citizens hastily collected a few belongings and piled into buses that evacuated them from the vicinity of the shattered Chernobyl nuclear reactor only half a mile away. They did not know then, and do not know now, whether they will return home in months or years. Or ever. On this and the following pages, TIME publishes the first photographs to appear in the U.S. of the ruined nuclear plant, the cleanup operation...
...nukes. Japan is still furious over Pyongyang's less-than-full account of the Japanese citizens it kidnapped in the 1970s and '80s, while members of the Bush Administration remain apoplectic that the North would apparently pay no price for its alleged aid to Syria for a nuclear reactor that Israel destroyed last September. (They are also skeptical that Pyongyang will ever come clean about its alleged uranium-enrichment program, which U.S. negotiators believe it developed along with the plutonium program it is now shutting down.) Now, as Park Wang Ja heads home for a funeral, Seoul will be forced...

Will the U.S. and its partners insist that that be dismantled...
...part, North Korea now wants the U.S., Japan and South Korea to make good on promises to build a light water reactor for energy generation. The U.S. promised this in 1994 - in the so-called agreed framework under President Clinton - and it has been held out as one of the incentives in the more recent six-party talks. But Washington has been deliberately coy about when the North might expect to actually get assistance on a peaceful nuclear project - "basically, the message has been, when hell freezes over," says Cossa. But with North Korea having been officially taken...
