Spin Zone / Re: Thermo-nuclear North Korea
« on: January 09, 2016, 07:07:04 PM »I suspect the N Koreans aren't lying, but what they're calling an H bomb isn't what we think of. To us ab H bomb is a fusion device far more powerful than the fission bombs the NKs have been detonating. However, there is a method for putting some hydrogen, deuterium I think, into the core of the device to accelerate the fission reaction. It's one of the ways you can reduce the size of the device so it fits on a missile.
If so the test was an abject failure. It produced less explosive energy than their last attempt, which had a smaller yield than the bomb we dropped on Hiroshima. That said, dear leader wasn't lying. His boys did detonate a nuclear bomb that had hydrogen in it.
Plus he painted a big 'H' on the side or it.
