North Korea's acceptance of a moratorium on nuclear and missile tests and the return of IAEA inspectors to Yongbyon are concrete actions that all sides can point to as justification for returning to dialogue.

The primary benefit of the agreement is that it reduces risk that tensions may spin out of control during a period of domestic political uncertai

Korea invited a former director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, Siegfried Hecker, to inspect a state-of-the-art uranium-enrichment plant at Yongbyon, with just such a capability.
