The gray cooling tower stands 60 feet above North Korea's main nuclear reactor complex, the most visible symbol of its atomic weapons program.
North Lorea's decision to blow it up Friday in front of diplomats and TV cameras is another dramatic gesture of its commitment to stop making plutonium for atomic weapons.
The demolition at the Yongbyon nuclear complex comes in response to concessions from the U.S., after the North delivered a declaration Thursday of its atomic programs under an agreement at international arms talks with the U.S., China, Russia, South Korea and Japan.
