IAEA team satisfied with NKorea nuclear inspection

Tokyo, June 29: UN nuclear watchdog officials said today they were 'satisfied' with a tour of a North Korean reactor complex that the secretive state has promised to scrap under an aid-for-disarmament deal, Kyodo news agency said.

The reactor at Yongbyong was still operating, the agency quoted the officials as saying on their return to Pyongyang after the tour.

The visit to the reactor is the first by International Atomic Energy Agency officials since Pyongyang expelled the Vienna-based agency's inspectors in December 2002.
