A second U.S. nuclear team is preparing to visit North Korea later this week to continue works on fully disabling Pyongyang's nuclear facilities.
U.S. State Department spokesman Tom Casey said the follow-on team comprised of 12 nuclear experts will pick up where the first delegation left off last week to negotiate specific steps in implementing a six-nation agreement sealed early this month.
The deal calls on Pyongyang to disclose and disable all its nuclear programs by the end of the year in exchange for receiving 950,000 tons of heavy fuel oil or its equivalent.
The second team is scheduled to arrive in Pyongyang this Saturday.
