Nuclear inspectors back on the job in North Korea

International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors have been allowed back into North Korea to view nuclear facilities.
Last week, the inspectors were banned from their monitoring work, due to an earlier freeze-out where Pyongyang had stopped IAEA inspectors from checking a plutonium reprocessing facility.
Last Thursday, the North Korean government extended the ban to all facilities in its nuclear complex in Yongbyon, including a reactor.
On the weekend, the US State Department announced a breakthrough and said that North Korea had agreed to allow rigorous inspections of all its nuclear activities.
In turn, Washington removed the communist country from a terrorism blacklist.
