Vienna - The price for crude oil produced by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) rose by 1.53 dollars Tuesday, staying below the 75-dollar mark, OPEC said Wednesday.

Vienna- Inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) started Tuesday to reinstall seals and cameras in its plutonium reprocessing plant, a source close to the agency said.

On Monday, the Vienna-based agency announced that the reclusive Stalinist state had reversed its ban on IAEA inspections, after the United States struck the country from its terrorism blacklist on Saturday.

In September, North Korea had ordered the IAEA to remove monitoring technology from its plutonium reprocessing facility in its Yongbyon nuclear complex.
