	South Korea says North Korea must clarify nuclear freeze offer
		South Korea's Foreign Minister Ban Ki-Moon said Wednesday a North Korean proposal for a nuclear freeze would be unacceptable unless the hermit state shuttered all its nuclear facilities.
		However, Ban said the offer would be "unacceptable" if North Korea's nuclear freeze means simply going back to a 1994 deal under which it agreed to mothball its facilities that could be used to produce nuclear weapons based on plutonium.
		But Ban said he and Li were in agreement that the momentum of dialogue to resolve the nuclear impasse should be kept alive by ensuring that a third-round of six-way talks take place by the end of June as previously agreed.

		But others say nuclear power is not the panacea its supporters think it is. In fact, the concerns with it are so numerous and frightening, it would be a grave mistake to reinvest in nuclear energy.
		Many nuclear power reactors are running at the end of their planned 40-year life, but their operators are applying for extensions (12 life extensions have been granted so far, and the NRC has yet to deny an application).
		Public comment on nuclear reactors would be allowed before a company had decided whether to actually construct one, she says, so public awareness would be low.

	What Activists Can Learn from the Nuclear Freeze Movement
		Supported by 70 percent or more of the population, the Freeze was endorsed by 275 city governments, 12 state legislatures, and the voters of nine out of ten states where it was placed on the ballot in the fall of 1982.
		The Democrats pushed a Freeze resolution through the House of Representatives in the spring of 1983, and made the Freeze a part of the party's campaign platform in 1984.
		It also opened negotiations on eliminating strategic nuclear weapons, abandoned plans to deploy the neutron bomb in Western Europe, and tamely accepted the limits of the unratified SALT II treaty (though previously the Reaganites had lambasted it as a betrayal of U.S. national security).

	FM Spokesman on DPRK's Stand on Nuclear Freeze and Way of Verification
		Its nuclear activities for a peaceful purpose are the issues pertaining to its sovereignty and this should never be included in the objects to be frozen or dismantled.
		As already clarified by the DPRK, a freeze is the first phase leading to the final dismantlement of its nuclear program and the freeze is bound to be accompanied by an objective verification.
		The issue of inspection of the nuclear facilities and nuclear substance of the DPRK is something to be discussed only at the phase of dismantling its nuclear program.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| Iran 'could maintain nuclear freeze'
		Iran could back away from its threat to immediately resume the controversial nuclear activities that would be likely to land it before the UN security council, diplomats said today.
		While saying Iran would "resume part of its nuclear activities in the near future", his statement appeared to be vaguer than recent Iranian claims that such a move would come in the next few days.
		Washington believes Iran's nuclear programme - which was kept secret for almost two decades until being revealed by a dissident group in 2002 - is intended for the manufacture of weapons and that, as such, Tehran's nuclear dossier belongs in the hands of the security council.

	The American Peace Movements
		The success of the "nuclear freeze" idea, initiated in 1980 by a young disarmament researcher, Randall Forsberg, caught many by surprise.
		The movement also was fueled by a massive diversion of federal funds and increased federal debt to pay for the largest arms buildup in the history of the world (note 10).
		The Freeze campaign culminated in the 1982 rally at the United Nations, the 1982 ballot referendums, and the 1984 race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

		Iran has reiterated it is only prepared to freeze its uranium enrichment activities for a few months and will not, as the EU and Washington want, permanently mothball facilities which could make atomic bombs.

		Iran, which insists its nuclear programme is solely for electricity generation, on Monday escaped possible U.N. sanctions after agreeing to suspend all activities which could be used to make bomb-grade material.

		It is precisely nuclear technology that could not be diverted to make nuclear weapons that the regime rejects.

	t r u t h o u t - EU, Iran Clash over Terms of Nuclear Freeze
		The recent nuclear accord European officials signed with Iran appears to have halted Tehran's uranium enrichment program at least temporarily, but it leaves Iran free to make plutonium, which can also be used as fuel for nuclear weapons, diplomats and arms experts say.
		Despite the experts' worries, a senior Bush administration official said yesterday that the Arak reactor was not an immediate concern because its completion was estimated to be a decade away, and European diplomats were pushing for a permanent accord that would cover both types of bomb fuel.
		The existence of the nuclear facilities at Arak was first revealed in 2002 by the National Council of Resistance of Iran, an antigovernment group.

		Even staunch opponents of nuclear power concede that the country's reactors are, in security parlance, among the most "hardened" targets in the world.
		Doubts about nuclear security are compounded by the fact that no one knows what the effect of an attack on a reactor or an adjacent spent-fuel containment area--which often hold many Chernobyls' worth of radioactive material--might be.
		And, Hirsch contends, the nuclear industry may be increasingly unprepared to deal with a major terrorist threat.

		For the first time since North Korea agreed to freeze its nuclear program in 1994, the White House indicated March 20 that it would not certify to Congress that Pyongyang is abiding by the terms of the deal, citing its resistance to open itself up fully to international weapons inspections.
		Under the 1994 nuclear accord, known as the Agreed Framework, Pyongyang agreed to freeze and ultimately dismantle its nuclear program in exchange for two civilian nuclear power reactors.
		At a March 20 briefing, he said that the State Department’s recommendation was based on concerns that there was insufficient information about the status of the nuclear freeze and on Pyongyang’s resistance to permit comprehensive inspections.
