      Iranian Official Balks at Start of 6-Nation Talks

      (AP) - Tehran has ruled out freezing its uranium enrichment program, casting doubt over the value of talks between Iran and six world powers less than an hour after they started.

      North Korea Hands Over Nuclear Data

      (Newser) - The North Korean regime has submitted a long-awaited rundown of its nuclear program to China, 6 months after its due date.
