(国務省ファイル）ヒル国務次官補の電話記者会見記録、10月3日
6者協議合意文書について新聞記者オ質問に答えているもので、特に目新しいテーマは
でていない。是まで外務省の説明などにあった事項と同じで、それを丁寧に説明して
いる感じのもの。
北朝鮮の申告すべきプルトニウムなど核物質、ウラン濃縮などについて、文書では明示
されていないという点について：
QUESTION: I see. So you're still at this point waiting to find out from the North
Koreans what those other facilities would be?
ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: Well, there's certain things that we know they exist
already and we know they're up and running already or have been up and running.
The Yongbyon facility is obviously the main one, although it was shut down in --
a couple of months ago. That's the one we wanted to have disabled. That's where
the weapons-grade plutonium is produced. And you know, you've got to keep your
eye on the ball here, to use another baseball analogy, and the ball here is the
plutonium, to get that shut down and disabled so we don't have -- so our 50-kilo
plutonium problem doesn't become a 100-kilo plutonium problem. That's why we have
really focused on Yongbyon. That's where we think we can help keep Americans
safer.
Now, looking beyond that, if it turns out they have an up-and-running uranium
enrichment program, that too needs to be disabled.
