The House passed legislation this week that would extend the current U.S. civil nuclear agreement with South Korea until March 2016, two years beyond its current expiration date in March 2014.

Of particular concern has been the issue of advanced consent for enrichment and reprocessing technologies, which South Korea has expressed interest in developing.
