#1 UN nuclear monitors were set to hold talks with officials in North Korea on Tuesday to discuss how to verify the long-delayed shutdown of the communist country's main nuclear reactor.

The North Korean government vowed Monday to move forward with a February agreement to shut down its Yongbyon reactor in exchange for aid, after announcing that a dispute over frozen bank funds that had held up disarmament efforts was now finally over.

They've had several months to come up with their next excuse. It ought to be interesting.

Suppose Kimmie's health has anything to do with this?

And if they do shut it down, they should fill the plant with concrete to make it useless. And make sure they take off with any spent material.

#2 It would be different if the NKOR people would get a single grain of rice or gallon of fuel oil.

But they won't.

#3 So, instead of just shutting the thing down like they agreed to do NOW there's something left to discuss?

I'll believe the thing's shut down when I see them pouring concrete into the containment facility on live TV (and even then I'll have a few reservations about it).

#4 Whoa, when I first saw the headline I thought it said "NKorea, IKEA to discuss nuclear reactor shut down". and then I figured they'd be as effective and anyone else.
