Initial Reports-North Korean Nuke Emitted No Radiation
Hey, Kim...

If you can't feed your own people and they are eating grass in the countryside maybe spending your limited resources on nukes isn't a wise investment...

1. Wouldn't even a dud nuclear test have some radiation?
I'm starting to think hoax.

5. A lot of folks are thinking hoax
NM has a lot of seismologists and nuclear physicists and both groups have been very guarded about this. "More fizz than pop" is the quotation on local news.

Consider that the lowest yield nuke so far has produced a seismic event of 4.8. That's six times more powerful than the 4.2 recorded in Korea.

To release no radiation would mean the test would have to be very deep underground.

Underground tests leave craters as the ground above collapses into the chamber created by the explosion. As far as I know, no such crater has been detected.

This may very well be an astonishing hoax by a country that wants the world to think it can fight back if anyone invades.

6. It's Clinton's and Carter's fault --
If they had provided them with the proper reactors, NK might have been able to produce a decent bomb.

7. Ya, outrageous...
Without Clinton they'd at least have a real bomb to scare the population with.
