U.S. seeks the relocation of N. Korean nuclear engineers

SEOUL--In preliminary negotiations before their upcoming summit, the United States is demanding that North Korea relocate its nuclear engineers to other countries and discard data from its nuclear development program.
The demands were made in preliminary discussions for the U.S.-North Korea summit scheduled to be held by early June, sources related to North Korea said on May 9.
However, North Korea is resisting the relocation of up to several thousand nuclear engineers and is taking a vague stance on the abandonment of data on its six nuclear experiments and nuclear-related facilities in Yongbyon, they added.
According to the sources, the United States also wants North Korea to abandon all its weapons of mass destruction, including biological and chemical weapons.
In addition, the United States is asserting that it will not allow North Korea to launch a satellite-carrying rocket, which has the same capabilities as long-range ballistic missiles.
Officially, North Korea denies possessing biological or chemical weapons. It is also planning to launch a rocket on a national commemoration day. Therefore, the country is strongly resisting the demands and the assertion.
The difference of opinions has yet to be resolved between the two countries on the “period” and “method” for dismantlement of nuclear bombs and nuclear-related facilities.
The United States wants North Korea to carry out complete, verifiable and irreversible dismantlement in a short period, such as several months or up to two years. However, North Korea prefers to carry it out step by step, spreading the process out over a long period.
As for returns to be made in exchange for dismantlement, the United States is assuming that it will give them after all the measures for dismantlement are complete. But North Korea is seeking to be rewarded each time one of the measures is taken.
Meanwhile, the United States is seeking the relocation of North Korean nuclear engineers and elimination of nuclear development data as part of the “method” for dismantlement.
In the ongoing preliminary negotiations, North Korea has shown a stance that it will accept dismantlement of its nuclear bombs and intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM).
However, the United States fears that even if North Korea scraps its nuclear bombs and ICBMs, it can resume nuclear development in the future if it retains its nuclear engineers and data.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un met again with Chinese President Xi Jinping on May 7 and 8 following their first meeting in late March. Kim made his second visit to China to meet with Xi to weaken the strong U.S. stance by showing close cooperation with China.
P!
Now we’re talking serious.
Give them food, and a few launches on FalconX.

Isn’t going to be easy.....his engineers/scientists have been suckling at that nuclear nipple for decades.......Can’t say how many of the creeps behind the scenes I’ve heard flaunt the fact they have them and with such arrogance.
More importantly is how far is china’s Xi really going to stall everything as he positions as much leverage as he can along the way.
Rocket Boy is going to meet Trump in Singapore. Isn’t that where his agents offed his brother with nerve gas? I wonder what the notoriously strict law and order government of Singapore thinks about hosting someone who suborned murder in their jurisdiction?
Having the summit in Singapore is a win for Trump. He yanked Kim out of his comfort zone: Pyongyang, Panmunjom, and to a lesser degree some place in China. Singapore leans heavily toward U.S..
Their nuclear engineers would probably just move to a Chinese Research city, if forced to leave the country.
I think dispersal of personnel is a bad idea. A few key players disappear and whoops, bigger problem.
It’s just safer to build them a golf community and let them sunset as a group.
I suspect they took the jobs because their families were richly rewarded but why let them out in the world with the proven skills the have?
Data is already in the cloud.
After WW2 Nazi scientists moved to the US and helped us in our nuclear program. Nork scientists could do the same for us. They could start out here as dishwashers/cooks in Korean restaurants. I’m sure it would be a step up. Korean food is really good. Just have the local cops eat there and give up the doughnuts.
Will all y’all with “nuclear engineering” degrees please raise your hand? At the power plant, in a cadre of engineers, only a handful are “nuclear engineers”.
“I think dispersal of personnel is a bad idea. A few key players disappear and whoops, bigger problem.”
Correct. Many of them could go to Iran. A better idea is we demand they be sent to NK “re-education camps”.
Heck, those same Nazi scientists helped us get to the moon. A number of pages in the Right Stuff explicitly mentioned the krauts. Von Braun in particular.
Ok then. We have a place for them here but their programs in the infantile stage. I’m sure they have something to offer though.
I agree. I knew a couple of American physicists who worked for many years at advancing the science of what they called "urban relocation." It occurred to me that I was happy they were on our side, and had stable, financially solvent lives.
Find out what the Nork nuclear engineers and scientists want, and give it to them -- if they stay out of the nuclear business.
Ask for the moon, settle for less.
