Tokyo (AFP) Jul 19, 2005 Japan has decided to urge the United States, China, Russia and South Korea to adopt a policy to ban the use of any nuclear technology in North Korea, even for peaceful purposes, a newspaper reported Tuesday. Japan hopes to present the policy at six-nation talks due this month on disarming North Korea, and make it a condition for the North to receive energy assistance, the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper said, citing government sources. The Japanese government has determined it would be dangerous to leave open the possibility of Pyongyang turning peaceful nuclear development to military purposes in the future, the newspaper said. Japan will demand that Pyongyang disclose all details of its nuclear program and ask the Stalinist regime to scrap all nuclear development, including for peaceful purposes, the newspaper said. Japan will also ask Pyongyang to allow the other countries to confirm in a verifiable manner that it has frozen its nuclear development program, the Yomiuri said.
