N.K., KEDO to discuss reactor project

2004-01-14

North Korea and a U.S.-led international consortium will meet this week to resolve disputes arising from the consortium's decision to suspend building two nuclear reactors in the communist country, officials said Tuesday (Jan. 13).

The U.S.-led Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization in early December decided to suspend construction on two substitute reactors in the North for one year to pressure the communist country to resolve tensions over its nuclear weapons program.

North Korea responded by barring the consortium from taking its construction equipment and technical documents out of the country and putting the area under the North's jurisdiction.
