Earlier this week, North Korea announced to great fanfare that it would, in fact, do what it agreed to do back in February at the so called Six Party Talks in Beijing: allow inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency to monitor the shutdown of the controversial Yongbyon reactor. That has helped put the optimists in the Kim club in the ascendant. Indeed, Hill's trip to Pyongyang on Thursday, the first high-level mission by a U.S. official there in more than four years, seemed designed to take advantage of the positive opening. A statement from Hill read...
...alien organism who exploits Parker’s growing inner darkness in a perverse and disgusting way: it infects him before finding a permanent host in Eddie Brock (Topher Grace). Venom is joined by Sandman (Thomas Haden Church), an escaped convict-turned-mutant whose chance trip into an experimental reactor leaves him with power to control the sand. And adding to all of these new threats, there’s that murderous friend, Harry Osborn (James Franco), who has become the new Green Goblin, Spider-Man’s most dangerous foe. As a whole, the execution works. The plot...
...Ahmadinejad recently made another media splash with an announcement that Iran planned to install 3,000 centrifuges at its research facility in Natanz - he claimed this meant it was now capable of "industrial" production of reactor fuel, which was a substantial exaggeration. Iran has installed less than half the number of centrifuges announced by Ahmadinejad, and those are experiencing far more technical difficulties than the president let on; furthermore, Iran would need 54,000 centrifuges running a lot more efficiently than those currently in place to be able to produce industrial-grade enriched uranium. Current estimates from a number...
...nuclear facilities shut down; we don't have them monitored with international observers. We do not have any fuel oil delivered to [North Korea]." South Korea was standing by, Hill said, to deliver 50,000 tons of heavy fuel oil to Pyongyang, the agreed-upon reward for decommissioning the reactor, in preparation for the second, more ambitious phase of the disarmament deal. If the Kim Jong Il regime makes good on its word to dismantle its weapons program completely, it is slated receive 1 million tons of fuel oil or its equivalent in economic and humanitarian assistance, plus security guarantees...
...Bush Administration is struggling to downplay North Korea's refusal to honor its agreement to shut down its Yongbyon nuclear reactor, which is producing plutonium that the regime has used to make nuclear weapons. "You know, we have a plan," a senior State Department official told reporters almost plaintively, after Pyongyang missed the 60-day deadline that ran out Saturday. "We're just a little delayed in the timing here and we're going to try to work with the partners in the next few days to get it back on track...
