• Did North Korea Test a Nuke? (ArmsControlWo nk) (June 17 2009): First, it is an established practice of the National Intelligence Council to use words like ?probably? or ?likely? to convey degrees of certainty about analytic judgments. See, for example, the fifth page of this memorable release from December 2007. Nothing?s ever completely certain. Second, none of the usual telltale radionuclides were detected after the test, according to this and this. Although this phenomenon is not unheard of, it does at least admit the possibility that the seismic event actually involved a heapin? helpin? of conventional explosives, rather than a nuclear explosive. But merely because it?s possible doesn?t make it plausible. This scenario was discussed at a recent scientific convention on CTBT verification in Vienna and basically dismissed. One thing is (virtually) certain. If North Korea had been trucking 2,000 tons of TNT up a mountain and packing it into a deep hole, everyone would have noticed.

• North Korea's Curious Nuclear Test (Science) (June 10 2009): While the test produced a clearly recognizable seismic signal that was picked up by CTBTO's worldwide network of sensors, the organization&# 039;s atmospheric detectors failed to pick up a whiff of the expected radionuclides in air. Even a deep underground test is usually expected to leak radionuclides, so their absence in this case caused quite a stir. . . . Seismologists . . . say that the 25 May . . . test . . . showed characteristic s that make it almost certainly a nuclear rather than a chemical explosion. But the presence of radioactive xenon is considered the smoking gun for the nuclear nature of an explosion?and it wasn't detected. It is possible to design a test to reduce the chances of radionuclides escaping into the air, for example, by carrying it out deep underground in particular types of rock. . . . Sometimes the underground structures and the melting and collapse . . . there remains about another week before the [Xenon] signal gets too faint.
