Summary:

The October 3, 2007 Six-Party Talks accord outlines a roadmap for the disablement of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's (DPRK) core nuclear facilities. While an agreement on "Second-Phase Actions for the Implementation of the Joint Statement" has been secured, the specific details of the nuclear disablement process are still being developed. The primary goals of this Working Paper are twofold. First, to establish a definition for the term "disablement" which has only recently achieved widespread usage in the disarmament and nonproliferation community. Second, to outline the types of steps that will or could be taken at key facilities in the DPRK to achieve various disablement objectives
