North Korea allowed United Nations monitors back into their main nuclear site Tuesday. It was unclear whether the North had fulfilled a pledge to resume disabling the facilities in line with a six-nation deal.
A diplomat in Vienna familiar with the International Atomic Energy Agency's work at the site told the Associated Press that the agency's three-member team had resumed monitoring the site, including reapplying seals the North had ordered taken off and remounting IAEA cameras.
He demanded anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the issue publicly.
Two months ago, North Korea stopped disabling the Yongbyon nuclear facility over U.S. demands that Pyongyang accept a plan to verify its accounting of nuclear programs as a condition for North Korea's removal from a list of countries accused of sponsoring terrorism. The two sides then reached a deal on verification, and Washington removed North Korea from the terror list on Saturday.
