DPRK regrants IAEA inspectors access to its nuclear facilities

　　The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) restored access for international inspectors to its Yongbyon nuclear facilities for further verification, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) spokesperson Melissa Fleming confirmed on Monday.

　　Fleming said in a statement released by IAEA on Monday that the DPRK granted IAEA inspectors access to the 5 Megawatt Experimental Nuclear Power Plant, the Nuclear Fuel Fabrication Plant and the reprocessing facility at Yongbyon for verification and monitoring.

　　It was reported that the United States and DPRK reached a compromise for their nuclear conflict last weekend. The U.S. agreed to remove DPRK from a sponsors-of-terrorism blacklist while DPRK promised to resume the disablement work of its nuclear facilities.

　　Yongbyon's nuclear facilities were shut down in July last year under an aid-for-disarmament deal agreed by the Six Parties -- DPRK, South Korea, China, the U.S., Japan and Russia. However, DPRK recently vowed to restart the Yongbyon nuclear reactors and denied IAEA inspectors' access to the nuclear facilities because the U.S. refused to remove it from the terrorism blacklist as promised. 　

　　国际原子能机构发言人弗莱明１３日证实，朝鲜重新允许国际核查人员进入其宁边核设施开展核查工作。

　　弗莱明在机构当天发表的一份声明中说，朝鲜已允许机构核查人员进入其设在宁边的那座５兆瓦试验反应堆、核燃料制造厂及核燃料循环处理厂开展核查和监视工作。

　　另据此间媒体１３日报道，美国与朝鲜上周末就核争端问题达成妥协，美国同意将朝鲜从“支恐”名单中除名，朝鲜方面则保证，重新开始已经中断了的核设施去功能化工作。

　　根据朝核问题六方会谈达成的共同文件，朝鲜同意对其现有的核设施进行以废弃为目标的去功能化并完整、准确地申报其核计划，朝核问题其他各方则对朝鲜进行政治和经济补偿。

　　朝鲜于２００７年１１月开始核设施去功能化，并在今年６月炸毁了宁边核反应堆的冷却塔。但９月１９日朝鲜宣布，由于美国拒绝履行将朝鲜从其“支恐”名单中除名的承诺，朝鲜正着手重新启用宁边核设施。本月１１日，美国宣布将朝鲜从“支恐”名单中除名。
