Another Way to North Korea's Denuclearization: Multilateral Approach to Nuclear Fuel Cycle

In order to solve North Korea's nuclear problem holistically, a new comprehensive approach is needed. This approach should comprise a method of redirecting the North's nuclear workers to other civilian occupations for irreversible dismantling of its nuclear weapons program and supplying the North with nuclear energy without proliferation risk, which will help to eradicate the necessity and false excuses of its indigenous nuclear development program. This paper reviews some previous proposals of the multilateral approach to the nuclear fuel cycle, since 2003, and proposes a comprehensive multilateral approach to solve North Korea's nuclear problem.
