KEDO Project is Finally Dead
The plug has finally been pulled on the KEDO Project in North Korea:
The United States and South Korea have withdrawn their last personnel from the site of two partly-built North Korean light-water reactors after a US-North Korean nuclear deal was officially scrapped.
A 57-strong final contingent, including a US citizen and 56 South Korean engineers and workers, returned by ship to South Korea’s east coast from North Korea on Sunday afternoon, the unification ministry said on Sunday.
The Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organisation (KEDO) officially terminated the project two months ago amid a fresh nuclear standoff.
The two light-water reactors were promised, along with replacement fuel supplies, under a 1994 US-brokered deal to end a crisis over North Korea’s nuclear weapons efforts.
What have these 57 engineers been doing there the last few years?
