IAEA urged to remove monitoring cameras

KNCA     Pyongyang, December 14 (KCNA) -- The IAEA is requested to take necessary measures to remove the seals and monitoring cameras from all of our nuclear facilities at the earliest possible date, said Ri Je Son, director general of the General Department of Atomic Energy of the DPRK, in letters dated Dec. 12 and 14 sent to Mohamed Elbaradei, director general of the IAEA. Informing the IAEA of the DPRK Government's decision to lift the freeze on its nuclear facilities as a countermeasure against the U.S. stop of the HFO supply, he said:
    The U.S.has completely broken the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework by giving up unilaterally its HFO supply obligation after systematically violating the agreed framework.
    The government of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has decided to take measures to lift the freeze on our nuclear facilities which has been in effect on the premise of the 500,000 mt of HFO supply per annum under the agreed framework and to normalize the operation of facilities necessary for power generation.
    This decision of our government is a just countermeasure to cope with the complete collapse of the agreed items which are interrelated with each other by simultaneous action under the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework.
    The freeze on our nuclear facilities is not pursuant to any agreement or safeguards accord with the IAEA but to the DPRK-U.S Agreed Framework.
    Furthermore our unfreezing nuclear facilities is far beyond the scope of activities of the IAEA and a serious extraordinary step to defend national sovereignty and right to existence from the threat of the U.S.
    If the IAEA fails to expeditiously take measures to meet our request, we will take necessary measures unilaterally.
