“North Korea’s Uranium Exports: Much Ado About Something” By Peter Hayes

In this special report, Peter Hayes provides basic information on North Korea’s uranium industry. He concludes that the main significance of the reported export of North Korean uranium to Libya is not that the DPRK exported uranium, a material that is available from many suppliers around the world, but rather, the fact that it has already developed an important prerequisite for enriching its own uranium.

This special report is accompanied by three documents that provide new insight into the support for North Korea’s uranium mining industry from the IAEA and western companies.

Policy Forum 04-27A: Options For Rehabilitation of Energy System & Energy Security & Energy Planning in DPRK of Korea

This report by the DPRK delegation was presented at the Nautilus Institute’s Asian Energy Security Workshop in Beijing, China from May 12th to the 14th, 2004. The report states, “the most important task for the sustainable development of the economy is to realize the rehabilitation of existing energy systems and to ensure its long-term safety in the DPRK.” The overall objective of the energy sector – an increase in production of domestic resources with improved demand side management and environmental sustainability – is subject to a lack of funding and technology. Policy priorities focus on the establishment of “an efficient, stable and sustainable system.”
