Groundwater from an underground North Korean nuclear weapons test site is spreading dangerous radioactive material to hundreds of thousands living in the country and abroad, a new report warns.
According to a report from the Seoul-based Transitional Justice Working Group, published Tuesday, eight cities near the Punggye-ri site are believed to have been affected.
Over one million people live in the region, the study said, with North Koreans using groundwater for everyday uses, including as drinking water, as well as for agricultural purposes.
Between 2006 and 2017, North Korea is believed to have carried out six nuclear tests at the underground site, which is located in the mountainous North Hamgyong Province.

Radiation Myth: The Columbia River isn't safe because Hanford is poisoning it with radiation. Fact: For many years, nuclear reactors at Hanford were cooled by water from the Columbia. Despite that the reactors have been closed down, there is still radioactive contamination on the site. Some of this certainly entered the Columbia River.
