World: Nuclear Challenges in 2013

From: Yona Maro

The North Koreans are likely to seek attention and assistance regarding the construction of their own light water reactor even if it is just a ploy to get the United States and other countries to extend real assistance on nuclear safety. After Fukushima, it is hard to disagree with the need to ensure that all nuclear power reactors are designed and operated safely,although assistance to a North Korean reactor under construction is not likely to be at the top of the U.S. policymaking agenda.By 2013, however, it should be a little more apparent whether the North Koreans are serious about cooperating and all that it entails. The next U.S. administration should not be surprised by the decades-old demand of North Korea for help with electricity generation—whether it is nuclear based, coal fired, or based on renewables.
