Hayes Informs New York Times On ROK Uranium Enrichment Program
In a New York Times story called “South Korean Scientist Calls Uranium Test 'Academic'” by James Brooke, Peter Hayes was quoted as saying, “‘from a technical and scientific perspective, it's no big deal, and South Korea acquired no significant quantity of enriched uranium,’ said Peter Hayes.
