Nuclear negotiators have begun hammering out procedures to check North Korea's account of its nuclear program.

Envoys say the talks are helpful but far from conclusive.

The six-party negotiations aimed at coaxing North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons ambitions are the first in nine months.

Pyongyang last month produced a long-delayed declaration of parts of its nuclear activities, one of the big steps pledged under a preliminary disarmament deal.

US envoy, Christopher Hill, says fresh session marks a start in seeking agreement on rules to check through Pyongyang's nuclear account and also to monitor aid and other commitments by other countries.
