Default N. Korea Ending Its Nuclear Freeze

North Korea announced Thursday that is preparing to restart the facility that produced its atomic bomb, clearly indicating that it plans to completely pull out of an international deal to end its nuclear program.

North Korea told the International Atomic Energy Agency that it was stopping the process of disabling its main nuclear site and barring international inspectors from the Yongbyon facility, the agency said.

Pyongyang "informed IAEA inspectors that effective immediately access to facilities at Yongbyon would no longer be permitted," the U.N. nuclear watchdog said.

North Korea "also stated that it has stopped its (nuclear) disablement work," its statement said.

"Also, since it is preparing to restart the facilities at Yongbyon, the DPRK has informed the IAEA that our monitoring activites would no longer be appropriate," the statement said, referring to the north by its formal acronym.

But the statement said the IAEA's small inspection team would remain on the site until told otherwise by North Korean authorities.

Pyongyang already barred agency personnel from its plutonium reprocessing facility at Yongbyon last month after telling them to remove IAEA seals from the plant in a reversal of its pledge to disable its nuclear program in return for diplomatic concessions and offers of energy aid.

But Thursday's statement was the clearest indication to date that the North planned to abrogate the deal, said a senior diplomat linked to the IAEA who demanded anonymity because he was not authorized to comment to the media.

This is what happens when N.K wants something. They blackmail the world with their Nuke program.

I wish there was an easy way of stopping that like bombing their facilities. But that would lead to an invasion and thousands of missles being launched at S. Korea and maybe Japan.

Kim jung il has been very sick. Hopefully we can wait this out until he dies and the next guy will have some common sense and take the world off the edge of war.

In 2007, the North agreed to dismantle its nuclear program in exchange for energy aid and other concessions. Its doing the same now in hopes of getting more from the next president.

I agree, its getting old. How about we ignore them and see what happens. They can't produce nukes and everyone knows it, the nuke test they told the world was a success failed.

Ignoring them will lead to millions of North Korean deaths by starvation. Lets put Human Rights over a stupid feud and show the world the real the America. The first thing we should do is sign a peace deal with them so they have no reason to be afraid of us and want to build nukes.

Well said Inverted, you just earned yourself some rep points. I agree 100%. If we had a peace deal with NK they wouldn't need to build nukes.

Exactly. Only reason they want nukes is to protect the regime from a US invasion they think is going to happen. Lets show them we're not planning an invasion, lets show them we want friendship and not war. Then we wouldn't have this problem.
