朝鲜半岛能源发展组织方案遭到质疑
10/12/2005 英文版朝日新闻
根据日本政府方面的消息,日本、美国与南韩即将放弃让北韩在「朝鲜半岛
能源发展组织」(Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization, KEDO)
方案下建造轻水核子反应炉的可能。
此立场转变的原因来自首尔,南韩之前虽反对终止 KEDO 方案,但近来已改
变其方针,并且已向北韩输出电力。
今年九月於北京举行六边会谈後,平壤在共同声明中承诺将放弃发展核武的
企图,该声明中也触及提供新的轻水反应炉的可能性。
KEDO 方案是基於 1994 年所达成的共识,而於 1997 年设立,但因为 2002
年北韩增添浓缩铀的行动曝光,使得该方案在北韩建造轻水反应炉的工作被暂缓。
KEDO 的参与国将於今年十一月底决定是否继续暂缓 KEDO,或甚至完全终止
KEDO 方案。
据消息来源说,日本与美国代表九月底在纽约举办的 KEDO 非官方会议中坚
持 KEDO 应予终止,而首尔对此提议未表反对。
布希政府过去已对前总统柯林顿时代创立的 KEDO 方案多所批评,日本某些
官员也在公众对平壤日渐上升的不满氛围下,对北韩建造轻水反应炉表示反对。
另一方面,首尔最初坚称,若要让北韩继续待在六边会谈的架构中,就不能
将重启建造反应炉的可能性完全封闭。但今年七月,南韩却曾经提议单方面提供
北韩二百万千瓦的电力,这提议形同放弃 KEDO 方案的架构。
南韩是 KEDO 最大经费来源,每年提供该方案总经费需求 46 亿美元(约
5060 亿日圆)的百分之七十。若 KEDO 方案被终止,如何收回这笔基金对南韩
将是一个重大政治问题。
据消息来源指出,目前的焦点是首尔是否正式接受终止 KEDO 方案的提议,
以及身为 KEDO 成员之一的欧盟会对这些变化有何反应。

KEDO program for North in doubt
10/12/2005
The Asahi Shimbun
Japan, the United States and South Korea are moving toward abandoning
construction of light-water nuclear reactors for North Korea by the
Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization (KEDO), government
sources said.
The move comes after Seoul, which had initially opposed ending the
program, changed its course and offered electricity to the North.
A joint statement issued after the September six-party talks held in
Beijing included Pyongyang's pledge to abandon its nuclear ambitions.
The statement also touched on the possibility of a new offer of
light-water reactors.
The KEDO program started in 1997, based on an agreement reached in
1994, but construction of the reactors was suspended in 2002 after
North Korea's uranium-enrichment program surfaced.
Participating nations of KEDO are to decide by the end of November
whether to extend the suspension period or terminate the entire
construction program.
Representatives of the Japanese and U.S. governments contended at
an unofficial meeting of KEDO officials in New York at the end of
September that construction should be canceled, sources said. Seoul
did not express opposition to theproposal.
The Bush administration has been critical of the KEDO program,
which was initiated under former President Bill Clinton.
In Japan, too, some officials are against paying for light-water
reactor construction amid growing public resentment toward Pyongyang.
On the other hand, Seoul initially insisted that the possibility of
resuming construction of the reactors be left open so that North
Korea would stay within the framework of the six-nation talks.
But in July, South Korea proposed supplying 2 million kilowatts of
electricity to the North, effectively giving up on the KEDO project.
South Korea is the largest financial contributor to KEDO and was
to shoulder around 70 percent of the total $4.6 billion (506 billion
yen) for the program.
If construction is abandoned, retrieving the funds could become a big
political problem in South Korea.
The focus is now on whether Seoul will formally accept the termination
of theprogram and how the EU, a KEDO member, would react to the move,
sources said.(IHT/Asahi: October 12,2005)
