               IAEA: North Korea May Be Restarting Nuclear Plant

   by VOA News

   The International Atomic Energy Agency says activity has been observed
   at a North Korean nuclear reactor, consistent with an effort to restart
   it.
   IAEA chief Yukiya Amano told the agency's 35-member board Thursday that
   North Korea's Yongbyon nuclear complex appears to have re-started its
   reactor. But the agency says without access to the site, IAEA
   inspectors cannot draw a definite conclusion.
   North Korea destroyed the cooling tower at Yongbyon in 2008 as a
   confidence-building measure in talks with South Korea, China, the
   United States, Japan, and Russia.
   But in September, a U.S. research institute said satellite imagery of
   the site showed activity that could mean North Korea is reviving the
   reactor.
