A second team of UN nuclear experts left Thursday for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to monitor the shutdown and sealing of the country's sole plutonium-producing reactor.
The six-member team is expected to arrive in Pyongyang Saturday after a stop-over in Beijing. The experts are replacing an initial team that went to the DPRK two weeks ago to supervise the shutdown of the Yongbyon reactor. The experts are expected to stay for two weeks.
Officials says the team will put agency seals on parts of the complex that have been closed and supervise the installation of surveillance cameras.
