Sung Kim is leading the team of experts in Pyongyang
A team of US technicians is due to begin disabling North Korea's nuclear complex on Monday with Pyongyang's permission, a top US envoy has said.
The technicians have arrived in the North's capital and are to travel to the main site, Yongbyon, on Saturday, according to Christopher Hill.
Pyongyang agreed to disabling in return for aid and security guarantees.
It shut down its reactor at Yongbyon in July and is to give details of its programme by the end of the year.
Speaking in Tokyo, Mr Hill said the US experts would start disabling the reactor, North Korea's only functioning one, and two other facilities on Monday.
"It's a very big day because it's the first time it [North Korea] is actually going to start dismantling its nuclear programme," he added.
