North Korea planned to resume dismantling its nuclear program Oct. 14 for the first time in two months, days after the United States removed the communist regime from a terrorism blacklist as a reward under a disarmament pact.

Pyongyang has told the International Atomic Energy Agency that it would restart work to disable the Yongbyon nuclear reactor and allow international inspectors to resume their activity, according to a restricted IAEA document to the agency's 35 board members obtained by The Associated Press.

Even up to early October, North Korea had threatened to reactivate the plutonium reprocessing plant at Yongbyon.

Washington announced Oct. 11 its removal of North Korea from the terrorism list. It said Pyongyang had agreed to all its nuclear inspection demands.
