Seoul/Washington  - A US delegation returned to South Korea Saturday with some 18,000 pages of documents from Pyongyang detailing North Korea's nuclear activities over more than 20 years.

The documents, which describe the operations of three facilities at the communist nation's nuclear complex in Yongbyon, would be brought back to the United States to be evaluated, said delegation leader Sung Kim, director of the State Department's Office of Korean Affairs, after crossing the heavily-guarded border between North and South Korea.

The State Department in a statement said the documents consist of operating records for a five-megawatt nuclear reactor, a fuel reprocessing plant and fuel fabrication facility at Yongbyon, going all the way back to 1986.
