 NEW YORK (AP) - The United States and its partners on Tuesday dealt the death blow to a project to build two light-water atomic reactors for North Korea to entice it into dismantling its nuclear weapons program, officials said.
The decade-old light-water reactor project had been mothballed for the last two years, kept barely alive in case North Korea showed signs of resuming International Atomic Energy Agency inspections and liquidating its ambitious self-proclaimed nuclear weapons program.
The New York-based Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization, also known as KEDO, did not issue any formal statement at the end of a two-day session of executive board meetings Tuesday.
