N.Korea Halts Work at Nuclear Facility - U.S. Officials Thu September 11, 2003 12:29 PM ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - North Korea appears to have halted worked at its Yongbyon nuclear complex, center of its efforts to produce plutonium for atomic weapons, U.S. officials said on Thursday. But they stressed that the reason is not known. They told Reuters possibilities include: Pyongyang has done this as political gesture to encourage negotiations with the United States; it has run into technical difficulties; or, more ominously, it has finished reprocessing fuel needed for half dozen or more nuclear bombs. "There's not much going on," one U.S. official said when asked about current activity at Yongbyon. Another U.S. official said: "I sense there may be a pause in the action but would be nervous about concluding that for certain." Assistant Secretary of State James Kelly, asked about media reports about Yongbyon inactivity at a Senate hearing on Thursday, said he would only answer questions in a closed session. reuters.com
