Just think... "part of a hydro electric project" !!!

Water flows DOWNHILL. How many rivers large enough
to make it worthwhile to power a major hydroelectric
project are IN a mountain range...say the Himalayas?

cf Hoover Dam for example. . .

I think it is interesting that despite reports of a
4-5 km Mushroom Cloud, the US govt. did not point to
either seismograph records (say) or satellite surveillance
records to REFUTE the idea of nuclear blast; they just
relied on the "it wasn't a nuke, we aren't sure WHAT
it was" statements.

What besides a nuke makes a mushroom cloud of that size?
Speaking of mountains, it sure wasn't Mt. St. Helens . . .

Lotsa possibilities here.

The seismic data for the NK blast was 2.6 on the Richter scale...substantially smaller than the 3.5 made by the larger of two conventional blasts that sunk the Russian Kursk submarine...

My hubby just said that when I read the article to him.

I guess that is possible.

Actually, Powell stated that it was non-nuclear yesterday or so... it is easy to ascertain absolutely with radiation measurements, and that will come out.

The power of that was apparently on the close order of a thousand tons of TNT which is certainly well within range of an ammo dump blowing up. (or if NK wanted to "calibrate" for a future nuclear test - but that's a bit silly in this day in age since that data is easily available already)

Conventional explosive events also produce mushroom clouds.
