North Korea has pledged to dismantle its nuclear test site, which sounds like a big step forward. But verifying whether that will actually happen will be difficult, underlining the complexities of any deal it may strike with the United States. The site consists of a system of tunnels dug beneath a mountain in the northeastern part of North Korea. Recent Chinese research suggests that some of the tunnels may have collapsed, possibly rendering the site unusable.
