The agreement ... recognizes North Korea's right to peaceful nuclear energy. The North lost no time in declaring that it would not jettison its nuclear weapons program nor take any steps toward that goal until the U.S. provided a Light Water Nuclear Reactor (LWR) to North Korea first. Although the U.S. has been staunchly opposed to this, the wording of the agreement - "the other parties expressed their respect and agreed to discuss, at an appropriate time, the subject of the provision of light water reactor to the DPRK - has left open the door to divergent interpretations.
