By AP STAFF Associated Press June 27, 2008 Page 2 of 2 North Korea's nuclear declaration, which was delivered six months later than the country promised and has not yet been released publicly, is said to only give the overall figure for how much plutonium was produced at Yongbyon -- but no details of bombs that may have been made. Experts believe the North has produced up to 110 pounds of weapons-grade plutonium, enough for as many as 10 nuclear bombs. The declaration was being distributed Friday by China, the chair of the arms talks, to the other countries involved, U.S. envoy Christopher Hill said. "We'll have to study it very carefully and then we'll have to work on verification," Hill said in Kyoto. The declaration does not address the North's alleged uranium enrichment program or suspicions of its nuclear proliferation to other countries, such as Syria. --- Associated Press writers Jae-soon Chang and Burt Herman in Seoul, South Korea and Matthew Lee in Kyoto, Japan contributed to this report. >> Back -- Page 1 2 Copyright 2008 Associated Press.
