NKorea grants UN nuclear watchdog access to Yongbyon: IAEA
VIENNA, Oct 13 (AFP) Oct 13, 2008
North Korea has granted the UN atomic watchdog access to its nuclear facilities at Yongbyon after having barred the agency's inspectors last week, the IAEA said Monday.

North Korea "today granted the agency access to the 5 Megawatt Experimental Nuclear Power Plant, the Nuclear Fuel Fabrication Plant and the reprocessing facility at Yongbyon," the International Atomic Energy Agency said in a statement.

"As you will recall, (North Korea) informed the IAEA on 9 October that its access to these facilities would no longer be permitted."
