This is most disturbing. The N Koreans are having trouble with their plutonium design of implosion fission bombs. Plutonium is easy to extract from spent fuel rods but it is a much more sophisticated technology to utilize as a atomic weapon.
Weapons grade uranium is much more difficult to produce but it is much simpler to fashion into a fission weapon, and it will go bang every time and not fissile.

They will set off uranium bomb, then NK authorities announce that the ‘brilliant’ success is credited to Kim Junior, who is in real need of some accomplishment to burnish his resume.
