The designation by Secretary of State Colin Powell came as a U.S.

proposal in the U.N. Secu i 4- ff South Koreans confirm work onplutonium SEOUL, South Korea (AP) South Korea said Thursday that it extracted a tiny amount of Plutonium in a nuclear experiment in 1982, a revelation that followed an acknowledgment last week that it enriched a small amount of uranium in 2000. South Korea also said it had "lost" some nuclear material from the 1982 experiment and acknowledged differences with the U.N. nuclear agency over the South's report on the matter. Plutonium and enriched uranium are two key ingredients of nuclear weapons.

The controversy over South Korea's uranium-based experiment has threatened to further disrupt troubled efforts to persuade North Korea to dismantle its suspected nuclear weapons programs. On Thursday, a South Korean delegation left for the U.N. agency's headquarters in Vienna to explain the experiments and pledge transparency in nuclear operations. The plutonium-based experiment was conducted in April and May 1982 at a Seoul research reactor belonging to the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, South Korea said in a 41 rity Council to impose sanctions against Sudan encountered opposition. Powell told Congress that Sudan's government is to blame for the Powell said that as a member of the 1948 international genocide convention, Sudan is obliged to prevent and punish acts of genocide.

"To us, at this time, it appears that Sudan has failed to do so," he said. Powell's announcement came as the United States was pressuring the U.N. Security Council to impose sanctions on Sudan's oil industry, among other measures, if the government does not take steps to improve security in Darfur. Such sanctions are opposed by China and Pakistan, Security Council members that import Sudanese oil. The Bush administration has not seriously considered sending troops to Sudan.

The African Union, a continent-wide security group, has dispatched 125 monitors to Darfur who are protected by 300 African Union troops. U.N. envoy Jan Pronk urged Sudan last week to allow more than 3,000 troops into the region to stop violence and to prevent the conflict from In Abuja, Nigeria, where Darfur peace talks are under way, Sudanese Deputy Foreign Minister Najeeb El-Khair Abdel Wahab criticized Powell's action. "We don't think this kind of attitude can help the situation in Darfur," he said. "We expect the international community to assist the process that is taking place in Abuja, and not put oil on the fire." The European Union also was critical.

"We have not discussed specifically the use of the word genocide," spokesman Jean-Charles Ellermann-Kingombe said. "For us, we have noted that there is an extremely serious situation that still requires a huge humanitarian aid effort." State Department officials acknowledged the possibility that the genocide designation could interfere with U.S. efforts to encourage more robust Sudanese government efforts to protect Darfur's citizens. And Powell has acknowledged that the designation will not lead directly to any material benefit for Darfur's victims. Powell killing of tens of thousands and uprooting of 1.2 million people.

In recent interviews with 1,136 refugees in neighboring Chad, the State Department found a "consistent and widespread pattern of atrocities committed against non-Arab villagers," according to a department report. It added that about a third of the refugees who were interviewed heard racial epithets while under attack.
