North Korea committed to dismantling uranium, plutonium facilities: White House

White House by Diego Cambiaso on 2014-10-22 14:34:44

North Korea has committed to dismantling its uranium and plutonium processing facilities during prior discussions with the U.S., a "fact sheet" published by the White House on Thursday said.
