In news from North Korea, inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency have confirmed Pyongyang has shut down its nuclear reactor.
Mohamed ElBaradei of the IAEA: “Yes, the reactor has been shut down. We verified the shutdown of the reactor. We are going through verifying the shutdown of the other facilities, and by tomorrow or after tomorrow we will be able to report hopefully that all the five facilities have been shut down.”
North Korea closed the reactor as part of an oil-for-disarmament deal.
