We will trust you only to the extent you fulfil your promises," [George W. Bush] said in the Rose Garden. "I'm pleased with the progress. I'm under no illusions. This is the first step. This isn't the end of the process. It is the beginning of the process.
"If North Korea continues to make the right choices, it can repair its relationship with the international community... If North Korea makes the wrong choices, the United States and its partners in the six-party talks will act accordingly," Bush said.
S. officials said the declaration contains detailed data on the amount of plutonium North Korea produced during each of several rounds of production at a now-closed plutonium reactor. It is expected to total about 37 kilograms of plutonium -- enough to make about a half-dozen bombs. ...

May, who had been seconded by Britain to the National Research Council of Canada in January 1943, was outed as a Communist spy just a month after his illicit uranium transfer. That's when Igor Gouzenko, a cipher clerk at the Soviet Embassy in Ottawa, defected with about 100 telegrams and other classified documents he'd stolen from a consular safe, exposing an extensive espionage ring -- including scientists, bureaucrats and even the Montreal-area socialist MP Fred Rose -- operating in North America and Britain at the end of the Second World War.
The revelations stunned officials in London, Ottawa and Washington. The head of the nuclear lab in Montreal, John Cockcroft, produced for the British a list of the secret technologies and materials May could have passed to Soviet agents: "Workin...

North Korea must "cease its provocative threats" and respect the will of the international community, which won't accept the communist country unless it abandons what the White House calls its pursuit of nuclear weapons, [Robert Gibbs] said.
Russia, voicing regret over the move, urged Pyongyang to return to the negotiating table. Its Foreign Ministry called the UN statement "legitimate and well-balanced," and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said all sides must stick to the disarmament process. China, North Korea's main ally, appealed for calm.
The six-party talks have lost the meaning of their existence, never to recover," the North's Foreign Ministry said in a statement, declaring it would never participate in the talks again and is no longer bound to previous agreements. On Tuesday, ...

There are babies "bleeding through the pores of their skin" and "grass boys" whose bodies have been impaled by grass blades travelling at supersonic speed.
In one particularly gruesome image, two eyewitnesses recall a man who "tap-danced" out of a collapsed, burning building because his feet were gone and his bony tibiae were the source of the tapping, "chipping and fracturing with each step against the pavement.
He writes that the Hiroshima bomb's uranium payload was astonishingly small, "occupying only one-third of a golf ball's volume ... slightly more than two level teaspoons," while the plutonium device used over Nagasaki had a similarly small payload but was three times more powerful.

John Hurt is Dr. Joe Buchanan, U.S. researcher of the year in 2031, stuck in the middle of a dimension-busting wartime particle-beam exchange. After a near-miss, Buchanan is sucked into a time vortex along with his talking, nuclear-powered automobile. Finding himself stuck in 19th-century Switzerland, Buchanan impresses young author Mary Shelley (Bridget Fonda) with a cruise in his futuristic love-mobile. But the plot thickens as our hero realizes he's driving between twin realities: the original past in which Shelley is merely writing the novel Frankenstein and a place just down the road where the monster is real. The film's scariest moment: ageing Hurt pitching woo to a teenaged Mary.

It has become an absolutely impossible option for (North Korea) to even think about giving up its nuclear weapons," the North's Foreign Ministry said in a statement carried by the country's official Korean Central News Agency.
In a move that could further escalate the nuclear standoff with the U.S., North Korea also said it has reprocessed more than a third of its spent nuclear fuel rods and vowed to weaponize its new plutonium, a key ingredient of atomic bombs along with enriched uranium.

A chance, you might think, for Russia to show the co-operation that its president, Vladimir Putin, regularly promises in clamping down on the global traffic in dangerous nuclear materials. Yet Russia's foreign minister thundered that the recent release of new titbits about a Georgian sting operation -- which reportedly netted just short of 80 grams of highly-enriched weapons-useable uranium, a Russian citizen from Vladikavkaz in North Ossetia (a part of Russia) and several Georgian accomplices -- was a "provocation.
The sting was first reported in February last year, and Russia loathes Georgia. But there is more to the Kremlin's nuclear frostiness. While it continues to co-operate with America in securing dangerous nuclear materials around the world -- most recently airlifting back to ...
