3.   If they are reprocessed, the rods could yield plutonium for several nuclear bombs.

4.   Once reprocessed, they could yield enough plutonium to build four or five bombs, experts say.

5.   Pyongyang has agreed not to reprocess the fuel, which could yield enough plutonium for up to six bombs.

6.   The fuel, if processed, could yield enough plutonium for five or so bombs.

7.   Washington favors such a change because light-water technology yields less plutonium than graphite reactors.

8.   Experts say that would yield enough plutonium to build three or four bombs.

9.   Nuclear watchers have said that reprocessing would yield enough plutonium for three to four atomic bombs.

10.   That would free its nuclear facilities from inspection at a time when it was due to retire nuclear power fuel rods that would yield usable plutonium for nuclear weapons.
