the IAEA will continue the inspection activities it began in 1992
As we both said. In 1992 there were not country wide inspections of every building. Inspections were limited to previously identified nuclear sites. This is why new sites did not attract attention. (The technology supplied by Pakistan has a very low thermal signature and so escaped detection by satellite and overflight).

This is curious.

It seems that it was Junior George who stopped the inspections of North Korea.

In releasing the funding, President George W Bush waived the Framework's requirement that North Korea allow inspectors to ensure it has not hidden away any weapons-grade plutonium from the original reactors.

And to think, his administration was trying to mean-mouth Clinton on this topic too.

President Bush argued that the decision was "vital to the national security interests of the United States".
