Good News and Bad News
The good news is that it appears that North Korea's only nuclear power plant (pictured left), which produces plutonium, is indeed shut down. again. Good job Christopher Hill.
The bad news is that North Korea is probably continuing a program of uranium enrichment, again.
A first step will be the North declaring a complete list of its nuclear programs to be dismantled. However, the North has yet to publicly admit to embarking on a uranium enrichment program — which the U.S. in 2002 alleged it had done to spark the nuclear crisis. Washington wants the facilities disabled by the end of the year so they cannot be easily restarted, Hill said.
Haven't we watched this movie before?
