The US is to take the first steps towards removing North Korea from its list of state sponsors of terrorism, the unconfirmed reports says.
The North may blow up the cooling tower at its Yongbyon nuclear plant in front of some of the world's media on Friday.
Long-stalled six-party talks began to make progress again last week.
Pyongyang agreed in 2007 to abandon its nuclear ambitions in return for aid.
It has since closed its Yongbyon nuclear reactor, but a dispute arose as to whether the North had by the end of 2007 provided a full account of its nuclear activities as the agreement had dictated.
Pyongyang has since handed in tens of thousands of pages of documents to the US.
A full declaration is now due on Thursday, said Kyodo - chiming with reports in South Korea which also suggest the breakthrough will come later in the week.
Reports also suggest the North may blow up the cooling tower at Yongbyon in front of a broadcaster from each nation represented in the six-party talks - but it is said to be demanding payment for the demolition.
