U.S. Department of Energy Supports Northeast Asian Energy Security Program The U.S. Department of Energy awarded a $283,000 grant to support Nautilus' Northeast Asian Energy Security program which includes regional training sessions in analytical software for long range energy planning. A workshop will take place in September 2003, and will include experts from the DPRK, ROK, Russia, China, Japan, and the United States. Nautilus Offers Diversity of Perspectives and Issues on North Korea Over the past two weeks, the Nautilus Institute's Policy Forum has published a variety of essays on North Korea on a number off issues including the use of human shields to prevent and protest war on the Korean peninsula by Kim Seung-kuk, Chairperson of the Solidarity of Korea Reunification Peace Committee, an assessment of the DPRK's missile capacity by David Wright, Co-Director and Senior Scientist for the Global Security Program at the Security Studies Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the US' Strategic Future in East Asia by Desaix Anderson, former Executive Director of KEDO. War Watch Provides New Angle to Coverage of US-Led War on Iraq In order to provide another perspective to US media coverage of the War on Iraq, Nautilus began publishing "War Watch" -- news and analysis to cover the war's impact in the Middle East and South Asia with sources from those regions. From Al-Ahram Weekly in Egypt to the Yemen Times in Yemen, War Watch will periodically highlight reports from the eyes and minds of West and South Asia. Pegasus Sails with South San Francisco Youth
Ahmad and Hayes Argues U.S.-Iraq War Increases Insecurity
A new essay entitled "Iraq: A Lost War?" by Zulfiqar Ahmad and Peter Hayes argue that the Bush administration's security strategy is likely to undermine United Sates' global power and increase domestic insecurity. The Nautilus Institute hopes that readers will join in a public discussion of the subject that we will be posting on our website.

Global Media Covers Nautilus Vietnam Release
The Nautilus Institute's release of declassified 1966 Pentagon documents "Tactical Weapons in South East Asia" along with analysis was carried by many domestic and international media. Along with Peter Hayes and Nina Tannenwald's op-eds for the Los Angeles Times, stories were also written for the Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Oakland Tribune, the Chicago Tribune, as well as interviews on KPFA's "Flashpoints" and NPR's "Weekend Edition."
The original report, analysis, commentary, and other background information are available at:
Nautilus Explores Partnerships with World Affairs Council
Michael Lawrence, Deputy Director of Public Programs at the World Affairs Council of Northern California visited the Institute on March 18, 2003 to meet with the Nautilus team and explore possibilities for future collaboration.
Nautilus Releases De-Classified Vietnam War Nuclear First-Use Study
On March 9, 2003, the Nautilus Institute released the declassified 1966 Pentagon study
"Tactical Nuclear Weapons in Southeast Asia" done by the JASON group. The report concluded that nuclear weapons in the Vietnam War would have been militarily ineffective, could lead to annihilation of US troops, and would
be politically catastrophic. Peter Hayes and Nina Tannenwald analyzed the report in essays published in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and the Los Angeles Times. On Monday, March 10, 2003, Senator Dianne Feinstein, D-CA, read parts of the declassified report into the Congressional Record.
The original report, analysis, commentary, and other background information

Hayes Argues DPRK Probes Carefully Calibrated
On March 10, 2002, the San Francisco Chronicle cited Peter Hayes on the DPRK
buzzing of US RC135 aircraft: "We're definitely seeing the same old North
Korea. There's a kind of orchestration of events. That's the way Kim Jong
Il thinks. There's a kind of careful calibration, a set of probes. They
don't do these things by happenstance. Their nuclear threat is a battering
ram on the White House door."
Ahmad Analyzes Insurgents Then and Now
A report entitled "Insurgents: Then and Now" by Zulfiqar Ahmad explores the usefulness and limits of historical lessons concerning insurgent groups in
the context of the current U.S.-led "global war on terrorism." Ahmad compares and contrast goals, ideology, strategy and tactics, social base etc. of the Viet Cong with today's transnational networked insurgents. His aim is to provide a starting point for teasing out contemporary relevance of the recently declassified 1967 study "Tactical Nuclear Weapons in Southeast Asia" and explore the larger issue of the utility of nuclear weapons against today's insurgents.
Nautilus Poses Point-Counterpoint of Tactical Nuclear Weapons
The Nautilus Institute's Policy Forum posted point-counterpoint essays by
Michael Levi, Director of the Strategic Security Project at the Federation
of American Scientists and Willis Stanely, Director of Regional Studies at
the National Institute for Public Policy on the relevance of the 1966 JASON report on the use of Tactical Nuclear Weapons in Southeast Asia. Levi argues that, no different from the Vietnam war, nuclear weapons today continue to have marginal military value. On the other hand, Stanely asserts that the US should not limit itself to Cold War nuclear force strategy for a post-Cold War world.

Nautilus Helps Media Get US-DPRK Issues Right
February 27-03: The Boston Globe cited Peter Hayes: "North Korea is the
first post-industrial country in the world where we see what happens when
energy and electrical infrastructure collapse. The country's rapid decline
has been remarkable; North Korea had the highest energy use per capita in
Asia in 1989, although it was also the most wasteful. Today, it has one of
the lowest.
Peter said that the "energy shortage is also fueling malnutrition and
hunger. With no electricity to pump water, a tremendous amount of labor is
expended in food production and at harvest time. Agricultural waste is
being burned for heat rather than being composted; topsoil is being eroded
and crop production has declined. Sewage systems in cities have collapsed
because they lack power, and without chlorine to clean drinking water,
waste is mixing with the water supply, causing widespread dysentery.
March 5, 2003: BBC Radio and Radio Australia interviewed Peter Hayes on the impact on North Korean threat perceptions of US deployment of strategic bombers to Guam in response to MIG
March 6, 2003: MNSBC TV (South Korea) interviewed Peter Hayes for a documentary on the future of US Forces Korea.
March 8, 2003: the Associated Press cited PFO author Alexander Mansourov, "I would argue that Kim Jong Il is engaged in a two-level game at home and abroad whereby his domestic considerations are as important to him, if not more, as the signals which he sends to and receives from the international community," Mansourov said in a commentary released by the Nautilus Institute, a Berkeley, Calif.-based research group.
Nautilus Establishes Bay-Delta Area Oil Emission Database
Nautilus Energy Program Officer Lea Prince alongside Nautilus Senior
Associate David Von Hippel and the San Francisco Estuary Institute have begun compiling a detailed "end use" database of oil using and emitting equipment in the Bay-Delta Area. This database will enable Nautilus and
key area stakeholders to establish a baseline estimate of oil emitting and
oil combusting equipment that create the precursors to oil pollution of the
Bay-Delta waterways. This project is made possible due to funding provided
by the Rose Foundation.

Media: Hayes Contrasts Train-Wreck vs Pragmatic Hardliners
February 15, 2003: San Francisco Chronicle, Peter warned that groups involved in smuggling out North Korean refugees via China "are taking what appears to be a shortcut but in fact is not a shortcut but a dead end" because doing so may prompt North Korea and China to seal their borders, harming North Koreans inside both communist countries.
February 15, 2003: Radio Australia' s Asia Pacific Program, Peter said that the DPRK's threat to pull out of the Korean Armistice is primarily a political maneuver aimed at excluding the UN Command from inter-Korean dialogue on cross-border trade and would not have any military.
February 16, 2003: KQED San Francisco Forum , Peter argued that the United States should test North Korea's strategic intentions by entering into talks on ending its nuclear weapons program. He contrasted the "trainwreck hardline" in Washington that will let the DPRK go nuclear unless it is checked by the "countervailing pragmatist hardline" that aims to hold the DPRK accountable all the way to zero-nuclear weapons.
St. Croix donates equipment to Pegasus Project:
Stainless steel risers donated by St. Croix Marine Products, Inc. to The Pegasus Project will allow proper installation of removable davits aboard the vessel.

With the installation of these much anticipated davits, Pegasus' captain and crew will have the flexibility to offer a wider variety of learning experiences to bay area youth, including on-shore bay ecology in less explored areas and voyage discovery adventures.
Mansourov Argues for South Korean Protectorate
Alexandre Y. Mansourov paper "Security Dilemma, War Trap, and the South Protectorate over the North" was published on the Nautilus Institute's North Korea Policy Forum. In it, Mansourov argues that a South Korean protectorate over the North Korean state, encompassing the areas of national security and foreign policy, could bring about peaceful resolution of the escalating nuclear crisis and guarantee peace and stability on the nuclear-free Korean peninsula. Peter Hayes, Nautilus Institute Executive Director, also published "Charging the Nuclear Red Line" in which he asserts that unless the Bush administration initiates talks directly with North Korea immediately, the United States will end up with a nuclear-armed North Korea, no military option to exercise, and a ruptured alliance with South Korea who will go-it-alone.

Hayes Says US Pressure Makes North Korea More Unyielding, Not Less
Peter spoke via videoteleconference at The North Korean Crisis: A Humanitarian Perspective seminar held in New York at Asia Society on February 12, 2003. He told the audience: "By ramping up the internal and external pressure on North Korea, the Bush Administration is making it more intransigent and unyielding than ever, like a white-hot Death Star. American pressure may prove to be much for even North Korea to bear. Its Death Star may collapse into a Black Hole, with all the consequences of civil war, loose nukes, and possible escalation to war including use of weapons of mass destruction. This would be bad for US, Korean, regional and global security."
Nautilus Pushes for Dialogue Now with DPRK in Mass Media
February 11, 2003: To the Point, KCRW Radio, Los Angeles. Peter asserted that "unlike Saddam Hussein, becoming a nuclear-weapons state would be second prize for the North Koreans. In my view, they much prefer first prize--to trade in their nuclear weapons for a security relationship with the United States. This could include handing over their rolladex of terrorist contacts, and joining the war on terrorism."
February 12, 2003: Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Commentary. Peter said of the Bush Administration and engaging North Korea: "If they don’t act immediately, the United States will end up with a nuclear-armed North Korea, no military option to exercise, and a ruptured alliance with South Korea that will go-it-alone."
February 12, 2003: Radio CKNW’s Agenda, Vancouver, Canada. Peter said that it was important for allies and friends of the United States to exert maximum pressure on Washington to open dialogue now with North Korea, to head off its nuclear weapons program
February 12, 2003: SBS Radio’s Worldview, Sydney, Australia. Peter said that countries like Australia have an important role in providing energy security to North Korea as part of a solution to the North Korean nuclear problem.
February 14, 2003: WBEZ Public Radio, Chicago's Worldview. Peter reviewed the history of US declaratory policy on nuclear warfighting in the context of today's nuclear conflicts and the risk of nuclear war.

It was co-sponsored by the International Peace Research Institute of Meijigakuin University (PRIME) and the Nautilus Institute for Security and Sustainability. Nautilus Program officer Nancy Park proposed adoption of a Global Disclosure approach to requests for information that utilizes the recent spread of national disclosure laws to over forty countries. Other expert papers addressed the crucial international role Freedom of Information Acts could play in improving the decision-making process regarding nuclear and other vital policy issues.
Nautilus Argues for International DPRK Energy Assistance
On February 1, 2003, Nautilus Associates, Timothy Savage and David Von Hippel were cited in the Los Angeles Times regarding the North Korean energy situation. "I'm sure it has not gotten better, and in all probability it has gotten worse," said Von Hippel. Savage added, "This is not like rural Africa. North Korea was completely electrified. It is not like they were never part of the modern world. They were kicked out of the modern world." Savage and Von Hippel asserted that the international community should concentrate its efforts on repairing the DPRK's existing energy infrastructure, increasing DPRK energy efficiency and developing alternative energy sources.

This paper, "Getting Back to Go: Re-establishing a Freeze on North Korea's Plutonium Fuel Cycle," by Jon B. Wolfstahl, Director, Non-Proliferation
project at the Carnegie Endowement for International Peace, analyzes how
North Korea could "unfreeze" its nuclear facilities at Yongbyon. The paper explains the operations that may be underway according to news
that American spy satellites over North Korea have detected trucks moving
fuel rods at the Yongybon nuclear facilities. These rods could be spent
fuel from the storage pond en route to the reprocessing plant (or new fuel
headed for the research reactor, or both). Whichever, the DPRK may be
crossing a "red line" for the Bush Administration. It also outlines what would need to be done to
"refreeze" these facilities. The paper was presented at the US-DPRK Next Steps Workshop in Washington DC on January 27, 2003, an event co-sponsored by Nautilus Institute and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
Accompanying this paper is a visual PowerPoint presentation by the US Department of Energy on the spent fuel rods at Yongbyon that the North
Koreans may be moving by truck. It provides the first published images of
the actual rods and canning process that is now being undone by the DPRK.
The Department worked with the DPRK to put these radioactive rods
containing plutonium that can be used to make rods into sealed cans at
Yongbyon.

Nautilus Keeps Mass Media On Track
In addition to providing reference material to La Presse (Quebec), Wall Street Journal, and Bloomberg News, Nautilus researchers responded daily to mass media journalists trying to understand the North Korean nuclear crisis.
January 10. The Associated Press cited Peter Hayes on the talks between former US Ambassador Bill Richardson with DPRK diplomats: "It's one of the great strengths of American democracy that you have this amazing diversity of players, so that when you get boxed into a corner you suddenly have another asset to draw on."
January 11. On KCRW's (Los Angeles) nationally syndicated "To the Point" radio show Peter explained the origins of the DPRK nuclear proliferation threat. Also, in the San Francisco Chronicle, Peter suggested that "If they wait much longer, the U.S. will either deal with Iraq with the military and turn to North Korea, or the Iraq situation will resolve without military action and turn to North Korea. After Iraq, the U.S. will be better positioned to deal with the next rogue state North Korea would like to do a deal when it's still politically possible."
January 13. Peter was cited in the San Jose Mercury News / Knight Ridder that KEDO's cutoff of oil to the DPRK "was unwise. It was imprudent. It felt good but it gave the North Koreans a rationale to escalate." On National Public Radio's "All Things Considered," he said that it is possible for the United States to enhance DPRK energy security without providing oil itself. "Probably the right way to do it is to organize others-especially Japan--to do the heavy lifting to substitute for the heavy fuel oil or liquid coal-about ½ a million tonnes a year. In other words, we can revert to the status quo ante, but not at United States' cost and not from anything that the United States would have to do."
January 15. "Talk Back" host Bill Mazar on WVOX-WRTN (New Rochelle, New York) interviewed Peter on rising anti-Americanism in South Korea.
January 18. Peter described the history of US nuclear weapons in Korea and the DPRK response on KCBX's "An Evening With" (San Luis Obispo, CA) and he stated in San Jose Mercury News that, "By wasting time, the Bush administration has created a far more difficult problem than they had in October."
January 24. Peter was a guest on KGNU's "Connections" in Boulder, Colorado and discussed US nuclear policy and the DPRK nuclear threat.

Institute Calls for US-DPRK Dialogue in Media
Peter Hayes hit the ground running in the New Year with interviews on CNN, KPFA, KPFK, and WBEZ radio programs.
January 1, Peter said on CNN's Wolf Blitzer Reports that the Bush Administration needs to appoint a top-level policy coordinator to create a roadmap for the DPRK to freeze its nuclear program and a senior emissary to communicate this roadmap to North Korea.
January 3, Peter outlined the conflicting policy currents in Washington that led to the current nuclear confrontation in the DPRK on KPFA's Morning Program.
On January 5, KPFK's Background Briefing interviewed Peter on the politics swirling in Washington about US policy towards the DPRK versus Iraq. Peter suggested that the timing was coincidental and not intended by either the DPRK or the United States and, he argued, will push the Administration to resume dialogue with the DPRK earlier rather than later.
On January 8, WBEZ radio program Worldview interviewed Peter on the history of US involvement and nuclear weapons in Korea. Peter suggested that the projection of nuclear threat against the DPRK informs the current nuclear proliferation threat by North Korea.
