UN atomic watchdog Chief Yukiya Amano has urged North Korea to allow its inspectors back into its nuclear facilities. Amano told the International Atomic Energy Agency's board of governors yesterday that she believes that last year's reports about the construction of a new uranium enrichment facility and a light water reactor in North Korea underline how important it is that the agency should be present in the DPRK. Last year, a US scientist revealed he had been shown a new uranium enrichment plant at the Yongbyon nuclear complex outside the North Korean capital Pyongyang. The IAEA has not been able to verify the reports since its inspectors were barred from North Korea in 2009.
