 SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - U.N. nuclear inspectors will return Saturday to North Korea to monitor the shutdown of its sole operating nuclear reactor, the head of the agency said Wednesday.
International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei said upon his arrival in Seoul that the monitors were expected to travel Saturday and arrive in Pyongyang the same day. He said it was not known if the reactor could be shut down before the inspectors arrive.
"We will verify that they will shut it. Whether they shut it before or not, that is immaterial," ElBaradei told reporters.
