Is This North Korea's Nuclear Bomb?

The North Koreans have said that they have successfully miniaturized a nuclear device, one potentially small enough to used in some of their most capable ballistic missiles. This claim has been widely disregarded by the international community. But now, after saying that they are deploying their nuclear warheads for quick use, and posting the image above, it may be time to reevaluate the North Koreans nuclear capabilities.


 That big metallic soccer ball of doom that you see in front of the “Young General” appears to be a compact nuclear implosion device, which is a more complicated alternative than the much more cumbersome gun assembly style nuclear devices, and larger implosion devices, that were thought to have been the limit of North Korea’s technical know-how.



North Korea has also claimed that it tested a much more powerful hydrogen bomb in January, although based on all available data this is almost totally untrue. It is possible, however that they tested a so called “boosted fission device,” which compresses tritium and deuterium gas during detonation. This enhances the yield considerably of a fission weapon, but it does not come anywhere close to the potential output of a true fusion weapon, also known as a hydrogen bomb.
