Modernizing the Agreed Framework
html version | pdf version
Argues that while the DPRK will be unable to safely operate the light-water reactors being supplied under the Framework, replacing one of the reactors with a thermal power plant, as some have suggested, is an equally impractical solution. Instead, the United States could consider offering a package of infrastructure assistance to the DPRK in exchange for changes in heavy fuel oil (HFO) deliveries. The US could explore with the DPRK alternative services-grid refurbishment, power plant and boiler rehabilitation, fuel supply infrastructure rebuilding, and alternative electricity sources and energy-efficiency improvements-that could be provided with a portion of the funds now earmarked for HFO purchases.

A Vessel Traffic System Analysis for the Korea/Tsushima Strait
html version | pdf version
Examines shipping interests, particularly those related to marine transport of oil, in relation to other contending interests, namely fishing, exploration, security and freedom of navigation, in the Korea/Tsushima Strait. One method for reconciling some of the conflicts between shipping and other interests is with a maritime traffic control (MTC) scheme. There is currently no active MTC scheme in the Strait. MTC schemes include active Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) systems and passive Traffic Separation Systems (TSS). A VTS system does not seem appropriate for the Korea/Tsushima Strait at this time because of its cost and complexity. However, a TSS would be appropriate.
