A perfect situation for builing Plutonium core, enriched Uranium wrapped, nuclear weapons.
The major assumption of the 94 treaty was that if we showed the North Koreans respect they would honor our treaty. Albright met with the North Korean leader and decided he was someone we could deal with. She got snowed. It is that simple.
We gave them a bunch of stuff under that treaty and they did not honor a single letter of it. How can anyone argue with that?

Is it your belief that the two light-water reactors that we were to help them build according to the 1994 were in fact (a) built, and (b) helped North Korea build nuclear weapons? Apart from these two plants, how else did we help them build the bomb, if at all?
