| | South Korea's nuclear surprise thebulletin.org |
| | The news that South Korea admitted in August 2004 that it had enriched uranium and not declared it was trumped in September by the revelation that it had also extracted plutonium in 1982, and had declared neither activity to the IAEA. | | | The fact that South Korea's secrecy was sustained even as it was engaged in an attempt to end the North Korean nuclear program, and specifically, the North's alleged uranium enrichment program, leaves the South and its allies, especially the United States, open to accusations of hypocrisy and double standards. | | | Nonetheless, that South Korean scientists not only enriched uranium but kept it secret from their superiors, and engaged in plutonium research earlier, has troubling implications for the future of nonproliferation in the region. |

| | The head of the research institute admitted that the uranium enrichment experiment by South Korean government scientists was conducted three times in 2000 with his approval. | | | Although President Park Chung-Hee said in 1977 that South Korea would not develop nuclear weapons, he continued a clandestine program that only ended with his assassination in October 1979. | | | One of these conversion activities, which took place at three facilities that had not been declared to the Agency, involved the production of about 150 kilograms of natural uranium metal, a small amount of which, according to the ROK, was later used in the AVLIS experiments. |
