IAEA Team Arrives in South Korea

A five-member International Atomic Energy Agency team arrived today in South Korea for a six-day visit as part of the agency’s investigation into Seoul’s past nuclear experiments involving enriched uranium and plutonium, according to Agence France-Presse (see GSN, Nov. 1). The team is expected to present its findings later this month to the IAEA Board of Governors, which could send the case on to the U.N. Security Council for consideration.

This is the third group of IAEA inspectors to perform inspections and interviews in South Korea following confirmation of the nuclear experiments by the country’s leaders (Agence France-Presse, Nov. 2).
