N Korea, IAEA to talk N-reactor shutdown
Ap, Pyongyang
UN nuclear monitors arrived in North Korea on Tuesday to discuss the communist nation's plans to fulfill its long-delayed pledge to shut down its main nuclear reactor. International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Olli Heinonen told reporters at the airport in Pyongyang that his delegation would be "negotiating arrangements for verification of the shutdown and sealing" of the North's main reactor during the five-day trip. Heinonen said North Korean officials gave his delegation a friendly reception at the airport and appeared ready for discussions.
