SEOUL, June 27 (AFP): UN inspectors are to visit the reactor at the centre of North Korea's nuclear programme in their first on-site inspection in nearly five years, the head of a team in the communist state said Wednesday.
The four-strong UN team had flown Tuesday into North Korea saying they were unsure if they would be allowed to visit the Yongbyon reactor, which produces the raw material for bomb-making plutonium.
That appears to have been resolved, the Japanese news agency Kyodo quoted Olli Heinonen, who is leading the watchdog International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) delegation, as saying.
