NKorea says will freeze nuclear program for US measures
Agence France Presse
North Korea says it will not participate in the next round of talks until the USA agrees
to remove North Korea from the State Department's annual list identifying nations considered to be backers of terrorism.
Removal from the blacklist would free North Korea from crippling US sanctions and open the possibility of access to much-needed aid investment from multilateral institutions, including the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
Others on the list are Cuba, Iran, Libya, Sudan and Syria. Iraq was removed from the list this year.
"What is certain is that under any circumstances, we will never freeze our nuclear activity for free without any return," a North Korean foreign ministry spokesperson said.
"It is unimaginable that we disarm ourselves, believing in a meek promise by the US," his statement said, apparently referring to its oft-stated demand for a written statement from the United States guaranteeing its security.
The statement is seen as suggesting that the latest US proposal had little chance of coaxing Pyongyang to new talks, at least for now.

PROPOSED RULE: Byproduct material; medical use: Specialty boards recognition
Nuclear Regulatory Commission
The NRC is proposing to change its requirements for recognition of specialty boards whose
certifications may be used to demonstrate the adequacy of the training
and experience of individuals to serve as radiation safety officers,
authorized medical physicists, authorized nuclear pharmacists or
authorized users. The proposed rule would also revise the requirements
for demonstrating the adequacy of training and experience for pathways
other than the board certification pathway. This rulemaking is
necessary to address the training and experience issue for recognition
of specialty board certifications.
