North Korea has removed more fuel rods from its nuclear reactor, put all seals back on equipment at the complex and restored the monitoring system, the US State Department said Friday. "All the seals are back on, the surveillance equipment is back, reinstalled, and the equipment that had been removed is back where it had been," spokesman Sean McCoramck told reporters.
"In addition to that, they have removed more rods from the reactor. So on the reactor they have actually gone beyond where they were prior to their reversing their disablement steps," he said. "Now on the reprocessing and fuel fabrication facilities they have not yet gotten to that baseline where they were before. There is still work to be done, but progress on it," he said.
