Nuclear Reactors are mainly a question of
- what kind of reactor - inspection by IAEI (or whatever it is) - where the waste goes - risk of civil war or attacking neighbors
(- and how they are run, serviced, international cooperation, responsibility from lowest to highest paygrade)
plus, obviously, amount of risk that either local or international terrorists crash an airplane into it.
That is, some of the issues which were about to get sorted out in North Korea, and which the negotiations are going for, at this moment.
Especially when considering the south-north "sunshine politics" process, some public but lots of secrete, long term agrements, "letters of intentions", which Bush declared he would get out of.
