BEIJING (AP) - North Korea's nuclear envoy demanded Saturday that his country be given power-generating reactors as a reward for eventually dismantling its atomic programs.
The demand presents a future hurdle for talks aimed at ridding Pyongyang of its ability to make nuclear bombs.
"In order to ultimately dismantle (the nuclear programs), light-water reactors should be given" to the North, Kim Kye Gwan told reporters before leaving Beijing, referring to a type of nuclear reactor that cannot be easily used to make radioactive materials for weapons.
