  President-elect Roh Moo-hyun urged Pyongyang Friday to reverse a series of recent steps to reactivate its nuclear program and restore seals and monitoring cameras installed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) at various facilities. In a statement, Roh said he urges North Korea to take no more measures that might worsen the situation. Roh also expressed concern over the reclusive state's moves to develop nuclear weapons. North Korea has recently moved 1,000 fresh fuel rods to a storage facility at its main nuclear reactor in Yongbyon and said it was restarting the plant to generate electricity. The North last week removed IAEA seals and monitoring cameras from its nuclear facilities despite international appeals for restraint. He said such moves run counter to the expectations of the international community, which is against the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and to the Korean nation's aspirations for peace on the peninsula.
