The DPRK will engage in North-South dialogue, as this Agreed Framework will help create an atmosphere that promotes such dialogue. The DPRK will remain a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and will allow implementation of its safeguards agreement under the Treaty. As soon as possible after the date of this document U.S. and DPRK experts will hold two sets of experts talks. At one set of talks, experts will discuss issues related to alternative energy and the replacement of the graphite-moderated reactor program with the LWR project. At the other set of talks, experts will discuss specific arrangements for spent fuel storage and ultimate disposition.
