Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, sat on the board of ABB Combustion Engineering from 1990 through 2000. During seven of these ten years, ABB aggressively sought to secure a contract with North Korea to build nuclear reactors. During this same period of time, in a blatant conflict of interest, Donald Rumsfeld headed the Rumsfeld Commission which looked into the growing ballistic missile threat.
In 1993, ABB entered bids to build two nuclear reactors in Yonggwang-kun, a southern province in North Korea. In 1996, the U.S. Department of Energy approved ABB-CE to participate in the construction of two "light-water" nuclear reactors in North Korea. In 1997, the first three contracts between ABB and North Korea were signed. These involved technology agreements, and the "design and manufacture of advanced pressurized water reactor systems technology".

In January 2000, ABB won the contract worth $200 million (USD) to build two light-water nuclear reactors on the east coast of North Korea. The years of negotiation and partnering had paid off.
But during this same period of time (1997/98) Donald Rumsfeld was heading the Rumsfeld Commission to analyze the growing threat of ballistic missile use against the U.S. In the final report issued by Mr. Rumsfeld's commission, the following statements are made:
