SEOUL - South Korea and the United States are planning to hold a second round of talks next month in Seoul over civilian uses of nuclear energy, local media reported Tuesday citing an unspecified diplomatic source.
The bilateral agreement, struck in 1974, stops Seoul from reprocessing spent fuel or enriching uranium on nonproliferation grounds, but Seoul now wants authorization to do so under a new pact.
South Korea relies on atomic power for 40 percent of its electricity.
